Filipina refuses cancer treatment to save son

[porthos11]

A Filipina UK resident refused chemotherapy and abortion so as to save the life of her unborn son.

She survived long enough to see him.

She was known to be living with a “partner”, the father of her son, but I reserve any judgment. As far as I’m concerned, her action is practically tantamount to martyrdom, for she refused on the grounds of her Catholic faith.

For me, she brings more pride to the Philippines than those scoundrels running its government.

I just hope she wasn’t teaching at a Catholic school, being pregnant and unwed like that.

No Norbert she gave her life for her child

I wonder if she was inspired by St. Gianna Beretta Molla. There is no greater love than to give your life for another. It is the ultimate sacrifice.

I just hope your remark was made in some kind of attempt to be cute or humorous…Surely you are not serious…This woman gave her life for her child, chiefly because of her Catholic faith. Your remark was uncalled for.

Right, maybe instead of waiting for her to die we all could have stoned her!! Should I say I’m being sarcastic? Sorry…couldn’t help myself.
Norbert, sometimes the right thing to do isn’t always popular or seemingly correct but one should always try to look beyond the surface.
