Mother Teresa

Mother Teresa (August 26, 1910 to September 5, 1997) was a Albanian Roman Catholic nun, who created the Missionaries of Charity in India. The mission of the organization was to care for the homeless, and needy, who felt that they had become a burden to society.

The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to Mother Teresa in 1979 for everything that she had done to help those in need. Mother Teresa was a staunch critic of the United Nations pro-abortion agenda who abhorred injustice to the unborn. In May 2007, the U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton's Presidential Election committee released a video targeted to manipulate Roman Catholic voter sentiment; the video is narrated by her husband, former U.S. President Bill Clinton. A Catholic spokesmen has responded to what has been viewed as cynical manipualtion by the Democratic candidate,

“

It is wholly inappropriate, disrespectful and disturbing that Hillary Clinton is using an image of blessed Mother Teresa as a political tool, especially given their radically different views on abortion,” “Mother Teresa tirelessly fought to protect unborn children, while Hillary Clinton staunchly supports abortion on demand in all nine months of pregnancy, including partial birth abortion and taxpayer funding of abortion.”

”

The video contains an image of Hillary and blessed Teresa and then goes to a clip of the former first lady’s address at the 1995 Beijing Conference, where a push was made to declare abortion a fundamental “human right.”

The Vatican began the beatification process for Mother Teresa in 1997 and on October 19th, 2003 before a crowd of 300,000 at St. Peter's Square the Pope beatified Mother Teresa.
