Why Hitchens Hates Mother Theresa

She was a creepy pro-lifer!

From Ben Smith, Mother Theresa's order objects to Theresa's image appearing in a Hillary Clinton campaign ad. Says the leader of Fidelis, a conservative catholic organization that brought the ad to the attention of Sister Nirmala, Theresa's successor:

"We pointed out that the use of Blessed Teresa’s image was particularly inappropriate and disturbing given Sen. Clinton’s staunch support of abortion both here in the United States and abroad. 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."

In 1979, during her Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, Saint Theresa said:

I feel the greatest destroyer of peace today is abortion, because it is a direct war, a direct killing - direct murder by the mother herself.

Certainly makes one more sympathetic to card-carrying grump Christopher Hitchens when he writes:

Mother Theresa was not a friend of the poor. She was a friend of poverty. She said that suffering was a gift from God. She spent her life opposing the only known cure for poverty, which is the empowerment of women and the emancipation of them from a livestock version of compulsory reproduction.
