LOL, I also thought the title meant "childfree." Shucks, I thought there was already a pill for CFness - I've been taking mine every day for several years. 
I've seen information about how it's allegedly safe to undergo chemo while pregnant, but it has to be in the second or third trimester because doing it really early on will cause birth defects. I still can't imagine it would be healthy for even a fetus closer to term to get the after effects of an adult-sized dose of chemo, but apparently it's "okay" for pregnant women to get chemo.
I also learned that certain cancers can be transmitted from the mother to the fetus, including certain lung cancers, lymphoma and leukemia.
Because instead of aborting a fetus when you're incubating cancer too, it's all about quantity over quality. Who cares what happens to the fetus or if it develops lifelong issues, right? Just so long as it gets BORN so everyone else's insurance can go up to pay for it to be alive. I'm sure it sucks to consider aborting a wanted fetus, but shouldn't the well-being of the clump be taken into consideration before "ME WANT BABBY?" And of course, a woman like this will never think about the possibility of what will become of her kid if the illness she manages to cure comes back and she doesn't beat it the second time.
People get encouraged to breed with or without hopeful treatment options. The ones who care about not making kids who could potentially be sick are either CF or CL, proving further that the people who don't like or want kids seem like they give more of a crap than the actual parents.

It would not be surprising to me, given the direction of medicine.
It used to be, when young women were diagnosed with estrogen positive breast or ovarian cancer, they would have total hysterectomies. That was the gold standard of care and it made sense: if your cancer is fueled by estrogen, remove the estrogen from the body.
Now young women are given lumpectomies and chemo so they can "preserve their fertility."

The GOP don't care what kind of life the baby has when it's born. To them, birth means time to toss the thing in the dumpster along with the afterbirth and the cow who bore it. 80% of this babby rabies shit is put out by the GOP and those associated with them.
