St. Gianna Molla - defending the lives of the unborn
When this Italian pediatrician became pregnant with her fourth child, she was diagnosed with a cancer that left untreated would kill her. In weighing up her options she chose to preserve her child's life and risk sacrificing her own. She died not long after the birth of her baby girl, Gianna, who has gone on to become a doctor herself.
