Pregnant woman with brain cancer refuses abortion: ‘Killing my baby wouldn’t have saved me’
Fox News
Tasha Kann, a Michigan mother, was 20 weeks pregnant when she was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. When her doctors recommended an abortion, she refused -- and a year later, she's still alive.
The young mother, who was 20 weeks pregnant with her second child, had just been diagnosed with anaplastic astrocytoma grade III, a rare and aggressive malignant tumor. Her doctors urged her to end her pregnancy so that she could receive chemotherapy and radiation. "Aborting my baby was never an option to me because it goes against God’s will." "I will continue to follow and pray, give thanks and worship, as long as I’m living — especially when the doctors said I shouldn’t be." "I’m still able to live a semi-normal life — walking, eating, talking — while having cancer in my central nervous system." Melissa Rudy is health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital.
"I told them absolutely not," Kann shared with Fox News Digital in an interview.
