St. Gianna Film

If you’ve never heard of St. Gianna Molla, you need to. First, she had the boring life of sick virtue and and holiness. Additionally, though, her fourth pregnancy resulted in a condition where a legitimate physical health condition forced a consideration of an abortion. She elected to sacrifice her own life to save the child.

She died six days after the birth.

A friend loaned us this film last night. If you have 30 minutes to kill, rent/watch it. You’ll cry several times.

I can tell you from personal experience, on balance, she made the wrong decision. Yeah yeah, brave, noble, all that ... but kids need their moms.

I am sure her children disagree.
