As far as religion goes, mark me down as someone who thinks that everyone should be able to raise their kids however they want.

Lets pretend the doctors forced her to get a blood transfusion. Lets say the blood was tainted with a blood born disease (as can happen). Now what?
She picked a stupid choice, she died, sucks to be her, or more likely sucks to be her kids, but again her choice.
