Pregnancy sometimes triggers breast cancer; it probably would have occurred eventually, but the hormonal changes bring it on. Most cancer treatments are not recommended during pregnancy & many of these women refuse them. Some live, anyway, but early treatment is generally the best policy.
Others may choose to end the pregnancy. It depends on their circumstances.
I could imagine a future state that decreed all such pregnancies should be terminated--for the good of society. The right to choose is precious.
