Although childless herself, Chrissy knows what the equally childless Kate McKay doesn’t: the loss of a child is like the loss of heaven.
I know this is true, because I lost what was going to be our daughter’s little brother at six months. I will never really get over it. But I’m a firm believer in a woman’s right to choose, and I always will be. A woman’s body belongs to her … not to anyone else … and especially not to any man. The current political climate in the U.S. has decided women don’t have any rights, but the tables will turn. Women have been getting abortions as long as there have been women. Sometimes they get a proper one from a medical professional, and sometimes they get one by sticking a coat hanger up their va-va’s, but they’ll never stop getting them. The hardest thing I’ve heard since men decided women didn’t own their bodies was when a friend of a friend, stuck in a southern state, had to decide which child wouldn’t be fed, because there wasn’t enough money to feed all of them.
