Blessed Theresa of Calcutta (Mother Theresa) was very strong in her opposition to abortion. She would often shock the secular political establishment by firmly and simply calling abortion what it is - a mother killing her child. She did this at the National Press Club with the then President Clinton by her side and she did it when accepting the Nobel Peace Prize. Often people would ask her: "But Mother, what about all the unwanted children?" (This would be their way of saying that we need abortion to keep the already overpopulated (in thier minds) world with fewer problems.) Her answer: "Have you ever seen an unwanted flower?"
