Would a lib-pro-choice-NOW type woman have made the same choice? I think not...............

That's a powerful story and a courageous woman.

Now that was a very generous thing to do for her child ... but if she was such a "devout Catholic," why was she living with a "partner"?

I'm surprised authorities didn't force her to have an abortion. Good she isn't in China. Not that "pro choice" forces wouldn't like to see compulsory abortion in other nations too.

Excellent post!
Another wonderful woman made a similar choice a decade or so ago.
She's been nominated for sainthood, IIRC.

I do not know the answer to this question, is it the policy/requirement to be pro-life for a mom in this condition to give up her life per these circumstances?
To: Red Badger
Would a lib-pro-choice-NOW type woman have made the same choice? Another abortion. Another notch in her belt.
To: SJSAMPLE
She's been nominated for sainthood, IIRC.Nominated just for doing the right thing? That's a pretty low standard for nomination.
To: Tax-chick
why was she living with a "partner"? She made a very unselfish choice. Why nitpick?
To: Sir Gawain; Tax-chick
I was wondering the same things. She did good though; I'd say she left this world on a good note.

Amazing.

When the right thing requires giving up your life for another, I'ld have to say - yes.
To: Sir Gawain
"Divorced" doesn't particularly matter to the Church, because it doesn't recognize civil divorce as ending a marriage. However, living in an unmarried or adulterous relationship and having children out of wedlock is definitely a moral problem.
THIS DOES NOT make her decision to put her child's survival ahead of her own any less heroic or praiseworthy. It simply makes the description "devout Catholic" meaningless. People like this lady, who are anti-abortion no matter what the cost to themselves, can come from any religious background or none at all.

I suppose it is. This is one of the cases where I have absolutely no problem with abortion. This woman made her choice. Another might choose differently and opt to save her own life.
I know a woman who faced a similar situation. She opted to end the pregnancy. That was 20 years ago. Now, she has three children.
Difficult decision to make, and one I believe the person facing it must make for herself, perhaps in consultation with her husband and her doctor. It is not a decision that belongs to anyone else.
Flame away!

Well we got all the way to post #5 before someone had to slam this woman for not being married.
