<p>by <em>John Jalsevac</em></p>
<p>In 1994 Mother Teresa filed <a href="http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/rauch/nvp/roe/mothertheresa_roe.html" target="_blank">an <em>amicus curiae</em> brief</a> before the U.S. Supreme Court in the cases of Loce v. New Jersey and Krail et al. v. New Jersey. In that brief the famous humanitarian and Catholic saint argued on behalf of the unborn in a way that is remarkably poetic and poignant. Not only does she plead for the rights of the unborn, but powerfully points out the various ways that abortion, ushered in by Roe v. Wade, has coarsened the life of the nation, sowing violence and discord. Her brief remains compelling reading. <span class="post-teaser-more">&nbsp;<a href="http://heartsunitedforlife.com/?p=1789" title="Permanent Link: Mother Teresa: Roe v.
