WOMAN REFUSES CANCER TREATMENT WHICH WOULD REQUIRE ABORTION, GIVES BIRTH, THEN DIES
Stories of courage are always so uplifting. The IBS Network reports:
Fedrizzi, 41, who refused the abortion and cancer treatment, found out she had cancer about the same time she learned she was pregnant, the Vatican paper said.
"She was aware that if she gave birth she wouldn't have had any hope of surviving," the Vatican newspaper wrote. "Despite that she went through with her choice, the choice of welcoming new life even at the cost of her own death."
What a contrast between this life-affirming story and the stories of abortion support we hear so often. God be willing, she is watching over her children from the heavenly courtyard. May they still know her love and care for them as they adjust to life without her. And may God grant them peace.
