- LETTERS, Page 16Mother Teresa's Qualities
-
- There is enough in your interview with Mother Teresa to
- challenge and convict any of us (INTERVIEW, Dec. 4). But her
- comment on abortion -- "If a mother can kill her own child,
- then what is left of the West to be destroyed?" -- fairly leaps
- off the page. Those who champion the rights of women need to
- understand that a desire to protect the unborn is not synonymous
- with a desire to oppress women.
-
- Lynette and Mark Hunt Fair Oaks, Calif.
-
- It's too bad that Mother Teresa cannot view other
- religions as being as valid and as authentic as her own Roman
- Catholicism. Her holier-than-thou attitude toward Hinduism,
- Buddhism, Islam and Judaism smacks of bigotry and condescension.
