In his will, Swedish industrialist and inventor Alfred Nobel said the Peace Prize is meant to be awarded "to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses."
Yet, at the time (of his nomination) the only bridge building Obama had done with other countries is to take tens of millions of taxpayer funds and give them to abortion businesses like Planned Parenthood and Marie Stopes International.
Those groups would use the funds to not only perform abortions but lobby the pro-life governments of nations in places like South America and Africa to overturn their laws.
Mother Theresa has stated "The greatest threat to world peace is abortion." Also, Pope Benedict released a very similar statement on the World Day of Peace in 2006. “Respect for people promotes peace,” the pope said in the statement as he stressed “the duty to respect the dignity of each and every person."Unfortunately, our world doesn't quite "get" many things. The Peace prize of course was given to Al Gore two years ago for his "work" on Climate Change. Until we correct our screwed up priorities and recognize every conceived human life as sacred and full of every hope for the future, I will likely continue to curse the Nobel foundation.

RIGHT ON ELISABETH!.......I almost fell over when I heard that. He has done NOTHING to promote world peace. I so have lost faith in what it was originally established for.....GOD HELP US!
On reflection, my words were a little strong. I was completely reeling from the news. I would just correct this to say the world is lacking a true understanding of the meaning of peace.
And I am not actually cursing the Nobel foundation. Really - what difference does this make in the long run? Mother Teresa DID win the Peace Prize in 1979.
However, my conclusion remains that until all life is legally respected (the unborn, the handicapped, the poor, the forgotten, the elderly) can we really have peace? Certainly one man can not address ALL these issues, but at the very least - he should have respect for ALL persons.
