I doubt it was all that recent since she's been dead for 5 years.

Kiltmaker, be a pagan if you wish, just do it politely.

It has portrayed the greatest of gifts—a child—as a competitor, an intrusion, and an inconvenience. It has nominally accorded mothers unfettered domination over the independent lives of their physically dependent sons and daughters.

Blessed Mother Teresa bump!

Your opinion stated that you did not need to “resolve the difficult question of when life begins.” That question is inescapable. If the right to life in an inherent and inalienable right, it must surely exist wherever life exists. No one can deny that the unborn child is a distinct being, that it is human, and that it is alive. It is unjust, therefore, to deprive the unborn child of its fundamental right to life on the basis of its age, size, or condition of dependency.
Pro-life bump.

excerpt:

This case was overturned by the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery altogether, and the 14th Amendment, which pronounced all persons born in the United States to be citizens of the U.S. regardless of color or previous condition of servitude. Also, this case was the first to employ the substantive due process clause which would be referred to again later in many other cases.

And here

excerpt:

It is one of only four cases in U. S. history that has ever been overturned by a Constitutional amendment (overturned by the 13th and 14th Amendments). It is also, along with Marbury, one of only two cases prior to the Civil War that declared a federal law unconstitutional.

However, I do not try to impose my love, or my beliefs, on strangers in the name of any god. I am free to be indifferent if I choose; it is one of the great advantages of being a pagan

Someday, the big dis-advantage to being a pagan will be known to you.

Until then, it is the duty of other people now living on earth to do all they can to prevent you from from taking the lives of others. Fortunaley for you, so far, such attempts are only being done with words spoken softly.

Her body is dead, but she is very much alive.

Come bump this thread for Mother Teresa!

Hats off to victim soul for posting this at the very moment that it is making the rounds again among Republican senatorial and congressional staffers.

Look for our beloved and Blessed Mother Teresa to be a major part of the debate when the Partial Birth Infanticide ban comes to the floor of the Senate.

Blessed Mother Teresa, pray for us.
Mary, Queen of All Saints, pray for us.

But the court never actively reversed it's own decision.

Thanks Sky Pilot.

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.

Feb 1997 and Mother Theresa asked for "the children" {who were being aborted}. I'll never forget the picture of the Xlintoon's. It was as if someone had shoved a pine cone up their behinds, (then again they might be into that kinda...)
