Fortunately, it has become rarer that women die in childbirth due to the tremendous advances in medicine over the past fifty years or so. However, it is sometimes still the case that a woman must choose between her own life and her unborn child's. A brave, single mother in Oklahoma recently made the ultimate sacrifice for her little girl, Dottie Mae. Read about it here.
The story not only proves the strength of love but family as well. The woman, Stacie Crimm, was unmarried but this did not deter her resolve to bring her child into this world. She asked her brother to care for her infant if she did not survive. And he and his wife are now raising Dottie Mae with their four children. Would her decision have been different if she was not close with her brother? Perhaps, but hopefully not. It is obvious, though that close family ties both support and encourage life-affirming decisions.
