"I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war,
a direct killing - direct murder by the mother herself. And we read in the
Scripture, for God says very clearly: Even if a mother could forget her child -
I will not forget you - I have carved you in the palm of my hand. We are carved
in the palm of His hand, so close to Him that unborn child has been carved in
the hand of God. And that is what strikes me most, the beginning of that
sentence, that even if a mother could forget something impossible - but even if
she could forget - I will not forget you. And today the greatest means - the
greatest destroyer of peace is abortion. And we who are standing here - our
parents wanted us. We would not be here if our parents would do that to us.”
--Saint Teresa of Calcutta, MC (Mother Teresa), Nobel Peace Prize Lecture, December 11, 1979
