Summary

Would you pray for Alicia? She is scared to have another baby and is tempted to have an abortion. She found Relevant Radio by accident because she is normally used to listening to an NPR station. God is moving!

She reaches out to Patrick Madrid for guidance. She shares that she is on her way to get abortion pills at a clinic but is feeling anxious and guilty about this. Alicia has two children at home, is in her last year of university, and feels overwhelmed.

Patrick Madrid engages with her, offering a pro-life perspective based on the fact that every life, including the unborn, is intrinsically valuable and deserving of protection. He discusses his own experience of having many children and how love multiplies when you have more, emphasizing the sanctity of life. Patrick suggests that someone would have to die for her situation to potentially improve, which is a morally troubling choice.

Throughout the conversation, Patrick Madrid encourages Alicia to reconsider her decision and consider the long-term emotional impact on her family and herself. He stresses the importance of choosing life and suggests that her conscience is a sign from God.

Patrick suggests that she reach out to a pro-life women's clinic called Waterleaf

Please consider praying a Rosary, Chaplet, or making a sacrifice for Alicia so that she can have the grace to choose life.
