"America needs no words from me to see how your decision in Roe v. Wade has deformed a great nation. The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships. It has aggravated the derogation of the father's role in an increasingly fatherless society. It has portrayed the greatest of gifts -- a child -- as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered dominion over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters. And, in granting this unconscionable power, it has exposed many women to unjust and selfish demands from their husbands or other sexual partners. Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. The right to life does not depend, and must not be declared to be contingent, on the pleasure of anyone else, not even a parent or a sovereign." Mother Teresa (Wall Street Journal, 2/25/94)

Powerful words, thanks for the post. Pro-Life, though I understand, but do not condone abortion in regards to rape or incest. I only hope that eventually the U.S. can truly become Pro-Life and respect the life of the unborn, but before legal changes can be made, hearts must be changed first.

Most excellent!

Wow! Loved your Mother Teresa (post #11) quote about abortion. She pretty much said it all.
The only exceptions to pro-life that should be allowed are rape, incest, or a threat to the mother's life.

Thanks for the post. I copied the quote and sent it to my daughter who is attending an ultra-liberal college.
