Duchess Meghan, 40, discussed the repeal of the abortion law with journalist Gloria Steinem and Jessica Yellin with. In her speech, the Duchess concluded her position and revealed her own sensitive and painful experiences as a woman.
For the first time, the Duchess is properly speaking openly to the public about her pregnancies and one of her miscarriages, which has caused great sorrow. By opening the conversation, she wants to normalize the conversation about women’s health.
The mother of two says her miscarriage was a very personal matter. A year before the pit, that is Lilibetin, 1, birth, Meghan had a miscarriage. That same year, he wrote about his experience for the New York Times.
– Losing a child means bearing bottomless grief. It’s a thing experienced by many but rarely talked about, he wrote in the magazine in November 2020.
In a recent conversation, Meghan recalls an ordinary day when she was doing her morning work and was just changing her son’s Archie diaper when she felt a whistling in her stomach. He collapsed on the floor and reflected Archie in his arms. The hum of the lullaby both kept calm in a frightening situation.
– I hummed the lullaby to keep us both calm. The happy melody brought a gloomy contrast to the situation where I sensed that everything was not well. I knew the firstborn in my arms that I was losing my second child.
To Steinem and Yell, he emphasizes that he knows what a miscarriage feels like. She therefore hopes that the debate on issues affecting women’s bodies and lives will normalize and that people will understand the importance of protecting and safeguarding women’s rights. He emphasizes this especially now that the right to abortion has changed.
In her experience, she points out that no one should be faced with a decision they don’t want to make or that endangers a woman’s life. According to him, this applies to everyone: whether it was a woman or a couple who is not ready to start a family. According to the Duchess, everyone should have the right to a choice that she did not have, for example, with her second child.
– I’ve been lucky to have both of my children. I know how that connection feels as new life grows inside the body. What happens in our bodies is truly personal. It can also lead to silence and taboos, even though so many of us have to put up with health problems.
The Duchess also hopes the men will take part in the discussion. According to him, the repeal of the abortion law will have a wide-ranging impact on relationships, families and communities and will not only affect women and their experiences.
