Saints live among us. May God bless this woman, and may her courage inspire all who seek to understand the gift of life.

may God bless the father and baby for his mother is already with the maker in heaven

@lilpinkchick95 Nope, the point of being pro-choice is supporting whatever choice a woman makes, whether it be abortion, adoption, or starting a family. :)

[lilpinkchick95]

I don't understand how you pro-choicers can stare this in the face and say the mother is wrong for not having an abortion and going through treatment. You support the mother's choice, right? That was her choice. Or is this some all-women-have-an-equal-choice­-but-some-choices-are-more-equ­al-than-others thing?

@thesoftshock Sometimes not everything can work out perfectly but at least the baby can have life now. It isn't suicide...refusing treatment is not suicide.

I don't think she would've had a long life anyhow. She probably thought "Why would I kill my baby, to simply be in the same situation?" She IS an absolute Saint to me!!

@Cheer4debate You are not only heartles your an idiot.

[PervyPanda11211]

There goes her baby without a mom. She's so brave. not.

[Cheer4debate]

Why do Catholics insist that these women who have established relationships and people who depend on them are wise and good for refusing medical treatment against medical advice for some fetus who was incapable of thought or emotion??

@oldsterone yeah :) im muslim and i think this is so beautiful. the selflessness of this woman and courage really strikes me. She went above and beyond her duty as a mother, let alone as a human being. May God bless her and give her entrance into paradise.

@RyddelIsFree Your struggle is telling that you do not believe that life is precious.

[RyddelIsFree]

I'm torn on this one.. I find it both selfish and selfless- the child is mom's property, and hers to decide the value of, but she had an obligation to her husband, and a long life ahead of her... Her child will grow up w/o a mother and knowing it's mother chose it over her own life, and while that will bring about a certain amount of gratitude, it will also bring about a lot of guilt, and heartache..

I don't know what I'd do in this situation, really..
