"The Greatest Destroyer of Peace"
..."But I feel the greatest destoyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a war against the child - murder by the mother herself. And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?...
...Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching people to love, but to use violence to get what they want. That is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion...
...Many people are very, very concerned about the children of India, with the children of Africa, where quite a few die of hunger and so on. Many people are also concerned about the violence in this great country of the United States. These concerns are very good. But often these same people are not concerned with the millions who are being killed by the deliberate decisions of their own mothers. And this is what is the greatest destroyer of peace today: abortion, which brings people to such blindness...
...But what does God say to us? He says,'Even if a mother could forget her child, I will not forget you. I have carved you in the palm of my hand.' We are carved in the palm of His Hand; that unborn child has been carved in the Hand of God from conception, and is called by God to love and be loved, not only in this life, but forever. God can never forget us...
