Patrick talks with Rhonda whose daughter is pregnant and the baby has attached to scar tissue which means the mother might not survive unless the baby is aborted. Patrick shares Church teaching on how abortion is never a viable option, which spurs many calls and emails with varying opinions and some  Miracle Moments where the baby and mother turned out just fine.

• Rhonda – My daughter is pregnant and the baby has attached to the scar from a past C-section. Doctors say the baby won’t survive and if he keeps growing it will cause a tear in my daughter. Is it okay to remove the baby to save my daughter?
• Tony – Is it a sin to ask someone you offended for forgiveness other than God?
• Mary – I am a midwife: I don’t think it is likely they would be able to remove the scar tissue in hopes of saving the baby
• Patrick shares passages from the Catechism and affirms the Church’s stance on the evils of abortion
• Javier – My mom refused anesthesia during a surgery because she was pregnant and didn’t want it to harm her baby.
• Patrick shares some heroic, beautiful, and sad emails about the experiences people have had with troubled pregnancies
• Sarah – I, and my little one, are survivors of a pregnancy where my baby attached to the scar tissue. There is hope for the woman.
