Update:
I thought thought this would be a better lede:
Of having a saint for a mother:
Of legislated reproductive health programs. What else could it be? This did not stop "pregnancy crises" from happening.

Saint's daughter hopes to follow her mother's example of loving life

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Many people might say their mothers are saints but very few have an official church declaration to back it up.
Fifty-year-old Laura Molla, daughter of St. Gianna Beretta Molla, is one of those people.
St. Gianna, often called the "pro-life saint," was canonized in 2004 by Pope John Paul II for having put her unborn child's life before her own. In 1962, when she was pregnant with her fourth child, doctors discovered a large ovarian tumor that required surgery. Although surgical procedures at the time called for removal of her entire uterus, Gianna Molla, 39, insisted surgeons only remove what was necessary and allow her baby to live.
She pleaded with family and doctors: "If you must decide between me and the child, do not hesitate. Choose the child, I insist on it, save the baby."
Of legislated reproductive health programs. What else could it be? This did not stop "pregnancy crises" from happening.

This morning dawned with security guards and deathscorts ready and willing to usher mother in to the Naples, FL, Planned Parenthood to abort their babies....
