"I have no new teaching for America. I seek only to recall you to faithfulness to what you once taught the world.

[T'wit]

Magnificent.

Do you have the date for this letter?

[cryptical]

Does this count towards one of her miracles, writing letters to the Supreme Court several years after her death?

[Havisham]

A very apropos posting to this thoroughly prolife message board.

[T'wit]

Info via a Google search states the letter was filed with the court in February, 1994.

(MUNICIPAL COURT OF NEW JERSEY LAW DIVISION - MORRIS COUNTY CRIMINAL ACTION DOCKET NO. C1771, ET SEQ. STATE OF NEW JERSEY V. ALEXANDER LOCE, et als. DEFENDANTS APRIL 29, 1991 HONORABLE MICHAEL J. NOONAN)


Judge Michael J. Noonan ruled as follows in a New Jersey case based on a man's efforts to save his unborn child from being aborted: "…based upon the undisputed medical testimony by arguably the foremost authority in genetics in the world, I found that human life begins as conception; and that Roe vs. Wade permits a legal execution of that human being."

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.

A Self-evident Truth indeed!

It was this Court’s own decision in Roe v. Wade (1973) to exclude the unborn child from the human family. You ruled that a mother, in consultation with her doctor, has broad discretion, guaranteed against infringement by the United States Constitution, to choose to destroy her unborn child.

Yes, that was indeed a bleak day.

The second most bleak day was on April 16, 2002, when the U.S. Supreme Court allowed "virtual" child porn.

Why does the Supreme Court hate children so much? Not only do they not want to protect children in the womb, but once they are born, they refuse to protect them from sexual predators. I don't get it.

[I'm ALL Right!]

Well put. She was amazing. Bump for this one.

[Audit_Jesse]

That was pretty uncalled for.

Magnificent letter from Mother Teresa.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Maybe SCOTUS thought it was not a crime to rape a cartoon.

"Why does the Supreme Court hate children so much?"

It's not just children. The august body of the "supreme" court seems to have trouble knowing just what a "person" is.

This in not only evident in Roe vs. Wade where the old gummers who were so senile they couldn't even control their bowels said that an unborn child isn't a human being, they also said that a black person is not a human bieng either, in The Dredd-Scot decision, which has never been vacated/overturned.

This is Amaaaazing

Pro-Life and Catholic ping

[karlamayne]

A marvelous sentiment.

Shame on those neanderthals who despise the classics.

[highpockets]

So, the old nun opposed abortion. What's your point?

No matter what you told, no matter how many times others failed to show it, I know that you are loved.

And you do not have to be afraid.

Your love will be seen one day and you will be able to feel it.

Soemthing else from Mother Teresa:

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you've got anyway
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.

--Mother Teresa

That was fantastic. I'm printing that off for my children.
