“They decided God would make that decision, not her,” Jennifer’s aunt, Jackie Murdock, told the Niles Daily Star. “She wouldn't decide somebody else's life.”
God Bless this family!

Be prepared to cry.
I'll second that!
What an amazing woman...
"Greater love has no one than this, . . ." She lived John 15:13.
What an incredible story.
Much like Saint Gianna Molla.
The personification of motherhood. God bless her!

Amazing ping.
God bless her, her little one, husband/father, and all who love her too. Mother Love personified.
Tears in my eyes reading this one.
STRAIGHT to HEAVEN she went!! God bless and keep the whole family!!
Inspirational woman. I will tell you that I am pro-life and against abortion in nearly every circumstance. However, I would not have blamed her or looked down upon her if she had an abortion in this circumstance. It would have been self-defense, that she might have saved herself to be able to care for the little ones she already had a while longer. Yet she chose instead to bring this little one into the world. God bless her.
Well, this story turned on my water works.
This woman was an angel on loan from God.
The article just says that having an abortion would have "extended her life" but it isn't clear to me whether that means they could have cured her or just provided her with a few extra weeks/months of life.
I mention this because I think if I were in a similar situation I would make the same decision if the only difference was a few weeks/months but I might make a different choice if I knew there was a real possibility for a cure from the cancer and forgoing treatment meant leaving the children I already have.
I'm not trying to start an argument but I often wonder how I would react in similar circumstance. It's much easier for me to talk about hypotheticals when there's no real cost involved. It would be supremely difficult for me to voluntarily travel a path that I knew would permanently separate me from my kids.
