Summary
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.

| 0:20.5 | Okay, dokey. Welcome back. This is our two. 888-9149. You can call that number. I'll get you on the air. Let's go to Rhonda now in Fondulac, Wisconsin. Hi, Rhonda. Hi, Patrick. How are you? Doing well, thank you. I'm sorry. I'll get right to my question. I'm kind of perplexed. I listen to you all the time. |
| 0:43.1 | We're very strong Catholic family, but we have a situation here, and I don't know how to answer it. |
| 0:48.0 | Okay. Our daughter is pregnant with her second child. She had a C-section with the first child. |
| 1:00.0 | This baby has attached in the uterus to the scar tissue. Okay. |
| 1:01.0 | The doctor feels that there's 0% chance that this baby is going to survive. |
| 1:08.0 | Because as it grows, what's going to happen is it'll burst that open and the baby will die. |
| 1:15.6 | And my daughter may not make it because of the internal bleeding. |
| 1:19.6 | So they want to take the baby. |
| 1:21.6 | But I know you've said that if it's in the tubes, you know, there's 0% chance to survive. |
| 1:26.6 | So that's not considered an abortion. |
| 1:29.3 | But is this considered an abortion? |
| 1:32.3 | If the intention, if whatever the operation is that the doctors did, were intended to remove the baby, |
| 1:42.6 | resulting in the death of the baby, that would be an abortion. That would |
| 1:46.4 | be seriously wrong. Now, if there were, go ahead, Rhonda. I don't even know what I was going to say. |
| 1:55.9 | Sorry, I'm just very excited about this. I can imagine. I can only imagine. You love your daughter, |
| 2:01.9 | you love your grandchild. |
| 2:09.9 | My heart goes out to you. So here's what I can tell you, is that in the case of that sort of classic scenario about an ectopic pregnancy, whether the baby lodges in the fallopian tube and doesn't descend all the way down to, |
| 2:20.9 | and we're talking here about the earliest stages of gestation. So when that happens, that obviously is a |
| 2:30.0 | life-threatening situation. And the procedure to remove the tube that has been damaged is a valid, |
