What did Mother Teresa say about abortion?

Mother Teresa was known for her staunch stance against abortion. She considered abortion to be a profound attack on innocent human life and a disregard for the inherent value of every human being. In her speeches and writings, she often spoke out in defense of the unborn and emphasized the importance of the right to life from conception. Her views on abortion reflected her deep conviction that every life, including the unborn, is a gift from God and deserves unconditional protection. She saw abortion not only as a physical but also as a profound spiritual and moral crisis of today's society.
Her most famous statements on this issue were made during the award ceremony for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979:

"The greatest destroyer of peace today is the cry of the innocent, unborn child. If a mother can murder her own child in her own womb, what is left for you and for me to kill each other?"

"But today, millions of unborn children are being killed. And we say nothing. In the newspapers you read numbers of this one and that one being killed, this being destroyed, but nobody speaks of the millions of little ones who have been conceived to the same life as you and I, to the life of God."

"To me, the nations who have legalized abortion, they are the poorest nations."

"Let us all pray that we have the courage to stand by the unborn child. For the child is the greatest gift of God to the family, to a nation, and to the world."
