A Mother’s Gift

Published 16 May 2011

Let me tell you about a young woman I admire tremendously.  I don’t actually know her, but I expect to meet her one day.  Her name is Jessica, she’s married with a young son.  Last November she was diagnosed with throat cancer, and needed treatment immediately to have any chance of overcoming the disease.  But Jessica was also three months pregnant with her second child.  Cancer treatment would severely harm or even kill the little one.  Doctors advised her to have an abortion so that she could start her life-saving treatment.

If Jessica was your friend, what would you advise her?

I’ll let Jessica’s husband Clint tell you their story.
