Abortion Activist Hilary Clinton Uses photo of Herself with Mother Teresa in Campaign Video


Lord have mercy!



WASHINGTON, May 15, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A campaign video released yesterday by the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign includes an image of Mother Teresa with then-First Lady Mrs. Clinton. The national Catholic-based advocacy group Fidelis called on the campaign to remove the image from the video. "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," said Fidelis President Joseph Cella.


"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," he said. "Out of respect to Mother Teresa, and the Missionaries of Charity strict guidelines for the use of Mother's image, we call on the Hillary Clinton campaign to immediately remove her image from their campaign video."

At approximate 2:26 into the video, the former President says, "Hillary in effect, was the face of America…in India" with a photo of Hillary waving alongside Blessed Teresa. The video then goes directly 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."

In 1999, Hillary Clinton addressed a UN forum at the Hague aimed at increasing funding and protecting the right to abortion worldwide saying, "Government has no place in personal decisions about whether to bring a child into the world."

Mother Teresa by contrast, abhorred the international abortion policies of the UN, and sent a letter to the 1995 Beijing Conference in which she wrote, "That special power of loving that belongs to a woman is seen most clearly when she becomes a mother. Motherhood is the gift of God to women…Yet we can destroy this gift of motherhood, especially by the evil of abortion …. No job, no plans, no possessions, no idea of "freedom" can take the place of love."

Cella stated: "As a courtesy, I have faxed a letter to Sister Nirmala, the Superior General of the Missionaries of Charity, and suggested she may wish to look into this matter and request that the party cease and desist in its unauthorized use of Mother's image."

Fidelis is a Catholic-based organization working with people of faith across the country to defend and promote the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, and the right to religious liberty by electing pro-life, pro-family and pro-religious liberty candidates, supporting the confirmation of judges, and promoting and defending laws faithful to the Constitution of the United States.

The way they placed a picture of Mother Teresa right before bragging about the anti-life Beijing Women's conference is just horrible. Yuck.

Yeah I saw that... I was about ready to gag.

I pray Hillary does not become President, if she does... God help us all.

Maybe Mother will lay the smackdown on her from heaven.

"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." (Mother Theresa -- "Notable and Quotable," Wall Street Journal, 2/25/94, p. A14)

I wonder if Hillary will use this quote in her campain literature.

All signs point to: No

Of course not... that's too long. Americans like quick soundbites.... How about one of these:

"Any country that accepts abortion, is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what it wants."

"It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish."

[cathoholic_anonymous]

Let us ask Blessed Mother Teresa to intercede for Hillary's conversion. That is the best remedy for all of this.

[goldbug16]

Bu-arf. Hilary is so...I dont know. She drives me so crazy.

I mean, she doesnt even believe in anything Mother Teresa believed in!
Mother Teresa: Pro-life
Hilary: pro-death

How opposite can you get?

[Ash Wednesday]

Poor Mother Teresa.

[Luthien]

Could that be considered slander?

[the Apologist]

She is worse than Bill by far... Lord spare us.

[catholicinsd]

Perhaps Mrs. Clinton is proud of meeting Mother. Ever thought of that?
