Mexican Woman Performs Cesarian Section On Self

Amazing story of courage and heroism. [Warning: Some graphic elements.]

Unfortunately, the woman (who has had seven children) went on to have a tubal ligation. If it wasn’t for that, she’d be a good candidate for sainthood.

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."
