these are the odd situations. unfortunately this is probably a real connundrum for a catholic, which is the worse cardinal sin, abortion or suicide?
personally, i believe she made the right choice. i told my fiancee that in a choice between her and our child, the only way that she would win was if there was absolutely no way the child would survive in any case. and of course, same goes for me, child comes first.

[Just mythoughts]

I have a seventeen year old daughter. Now interesting thing in bringing up ones child to be "pro-life" is limited to the abortion issue of saving the unborn child alone.

Well now there are alll sorts and potential circumstances such as this case not taken into account into my head in my teaching "pro-life". Now "IF" I am to be this "pro-life" then who am I to judge which life has the most value and importance??? Because in this case there were already three lives born to this woman, should she not be the same heroine in living to care for them???

Just an FYI, this is a classic case where the Catholic Church would NOT object to an abortion. I asked a Catholic Priest / Medical Ethesist (sic?) 'under what circumstances would the church permit an abortion'. This was the exact scenerio he gave, because you are saving the life of the mother, and removing the baby would save her life.

The church requires you to be moral, not a saint. What this woman did was saintly.

That was his response.
