Joe Cunningham, President and Founder of the Society of St. Gianna Molla, joined Bill and Rich as their national guest. Gianna Molla, born in 1922, is quickly becoming a patroness of marriage. Married in September of 1955 to Pietro Molla, St. Gianna and her husband had four children. During her fourth pregnancy Gianna was diagnosed with uterine tumors. Her doctors advised that she have a surgical abortion to save her own life. Unable to justify taking the life of her child for her own sake Gianna carried her baby to term. She gave birth to Gianna Emanuela on April 21, 1962 and died seven days later at age 39. Her ultimate sacrifice of self in heroic virtue caused her to become the first women doctor to be canonized.
