This week marks the anniversary of when Mother Teresa accepted the Nobel Prize for Peace, speaking at the University of Oslo, in Norway.

During her remarks, Teresa called abortion "the greatest destroyer of peace today," adding that "if a mother can murder her own child in her womb, what is left for you and for me to kill each other?"

"To me the nations who have legalized abortion, they are the poorest nations," stated Teresa. "They are afraid of the little one, they are afraid of the unborn child, and the child must die because they don't want to feed one more child, to educate one more child, the child must die."
