The reflections of Mother Teresa of Calcutta at the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 also help us with this drama:
“…I feel that the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing, a murder committed by the mother herself. And we read in Scripture, because God says it very clearly: “Even if a mother forgets her child, I will not forget you. I have engraved you on the palm of my hand”. We are engraved in the palm of His hand, so close to Him that an unborn child has been engraved in the palm of God’s hand. And what strikes me most is the beginning of this 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”.
