Painting depicts Mother Teresa “marching” with Margaret Sanger
by Carder
Mother Teresa should not be imaged marching in solidarity with Margaret Sanger and hung in a public setting. It betrays Mother Teresa [to show her] marching in solidarity with Margaret Sanger, who believed in forced sterilization and was a eugenicist…
… The office which oversees the authorization of Mother Teresa’s image respectfully but straightforwardly asked the image to be taken down because it is not representative of who Mother Teresa is.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Women who do great good — shown marching with those who urge women to do great evil.
The artist (and those who support the showing of this art) are profoundly confused about the nature of good and evil. They can’t tell the heroes from the villains.
And they are shocked and dismayed by those of us who can.
Imagine a statue commemorating the leaders of WWII. Imagine Hitler & Mussolini & Hirohito & Churchill & Truman & Stalin, all marching in solidarity. Or perhaps a memorial to GW Bush & Obama & Osama & Saddam, all striving together toward a common goal.
That’s how twisted this Onward We March mural is.
Found a site that says: “Margaret Sanger, a feminist and birth control pioneer, was born in Corning New York, the sixth of eleven children and the third of four daughters of Anne Higgins and Michael Higgins, both of Irish descent.” Another site says:”11 children and seven miscarriages” http://www.plannedparenthood.org/files/7513/9611/6635/Margaret_Sanger_Hero_1009.pdf
Interesting in that pro-aborts would be all for contracepting/aborting most all of the Higgins family including the “sixth of eleven” so no Margaret. Is that a sign of self hate?
Maybe PP thinks the old sign, “Irish need not apply!” would mean that the Irish should not ask for birth control/abortion? If so, why is there a battle going on in Ireland? /face palm
Mother Teresa would try to save them all. What a difference in attitude!
Maybe the artist could just leave Mother Teresa out like the NY Times/photographer did GW Bush at the 50th anniversary of the march on Selma, Ala. “Just so you know, President Bush was not cropped out, he was not in that frame because he was so far to our right,” Times photographer…” Would think Mother Teresa is even more “far right” than Bush. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/new-york-times-explains-leaving-george-w.-bush-out-of-its-selma-front-page/article/2561268
“The way to plan the family is natural family planning, not contraception…This (use of contraceptives) turns the attention to self and so it destroys the gift of love in him or her. In loving, the husband and wife must turn the attention to each other as happens in natural family planning, and not to self, as happens in contraception. Once that living love is destroyed by contraception, abortion follows easily . . . And abortion, which often follows from contraception, brings a people to be spiritually poor, and that is the worst poverty and the most difficult to overcome.”
“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. How grateful we must be to God for this wonderful gift that brings such joy to the whole world, women and men alike! Yet we can destroy this gift of motherhood, especially by the evil of abortion, but also by thinking that other things like jobs or positions are more important than loving, than giving oneself to others. No job, no plans, no possessions, no idea of “freedom” can take the place of love. So anything that destroys God’s gift of motherhood destroys His most precious gift to women– the ability to love as a woman.”
By her own testimony, very clear and verbalized, Mother Teresa stands firmly against Margaret Sanger. I mean, is Susan B Anthony in that group, too? I can’t really see it that well on my phone. It’s like the KKK claiming MLK Jr or Rosa Parks. So deceptive.
Patty,
Margaret Sanger was a famed eugenist who said, “the most merciful thing a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.” “women of the working class, especially wage workers, should not have more than two children at most” “apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.”
So to summarize, yes. She believed that she should not have been born.
This painting is called, Women of Purpose, yet I don’t see even one woman of color in the crowd. Humm. Sounds like something a PP supporter would dream up.
