[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mother Theresa won the Nobel peace prize in 1979. How can her work be considered “violent?”

Mother Teresa singled out abortion as "the greatest destroyer of peace today. Because if a mother can kill her own child – what is left for me to kill you and you kill me – there is nothing between."

Barbara Smoker of the secular humanist magazine The Freethinker criticised Mother Teresa after the Peace Prize award, saying that her promotion of Catholic moral teachings on abortion and contraception diverted funds from effective methods to solve India's problems. At the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing, Mother Teresa said: "Yet we can destroy this gift of motherhood, especially by the evil of abortion, but also by thinking that other things like jobs or positions are more important than loving."

I think her view on abortion is earning her the animus of many here. You can disagree with her, but the good she’s done in over 100 countries for poverty stricken men, women, ad children is undeniable.

No, my dislike of her is based in the fact that denying medical treatment for treatable conditions is akin to murder. And her running a “hospice” doesn’t make that better. If people do not have fatal conditions, they are not suitable patients for hospice. [/quote]
