“By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems. … Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.” -- Mother Teresa.
Personally, the shallowness of the notion that abortion is the greatest destroyer of love and peace grates on me like nails screeching across a chalkboard grate on some folks. I wince at it.
But I have two questions:
1) Do you think there's any merit to the notion that abortion is a destroyer of love and peace -- let alone the greatest?
2) Is there any truth to Teresa's statement that abortion teaches people to use "any violence to get what they want"?
This thread is about those two questions and only those two questions. Please stay on topic.
1. There is no merit outside her religious ideology which means it is subjective to those of her group not everyone. More so having unwanted children is not a greatest method for creating love and peace. Some people go to drastic measures to avoid having children thus there is no love to destroy and peace has already been shattered.
2. Nope as violence is context orientated to her views thus subjective. If it were true we would see an increase in violence acts for those that have had abortions. She has done nothing to support her claims like statics in violent crimes increased after one has an abortion.
It just religious rhetoric that is projected on to everyone which is typical.
