“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."
Blessed Mother Teresa
Lovely picture of Blessed Mother Teresa. I am writing you here, b/c I saw and read a comment of yours on the Hidden Side of Medj. Blog and wanted to thank you for it. I agreed with you every bit. I am currently seeing very "bad fruit" in a family I know due to this topic, and it's disturbed me,(but not robbing me of my peace or joy) I am offering it up for Lenten penance, for the conversion of souls and for the "seers" - and to grow, hopefully, in the virtue of humility. This isn't the best place to discuss. Suffice to say, I was recently equated with "Stalin" for disagreeing and expressing my own view of the Medj. biz.And it came from a good/trad./orthodox Catholic, who is FROM Medj. herself. I've never been there, and dont' have the thousands to go there. I can find Mary here, in my own parish and in my house! I guess one can't be 'cautious' w/out being compared to a Commie. Anyway, sorry to ramble but I did appreciate your comment. God bless you. PAX CHRISTI- susie
