An Ax in the sandbox

In the 60’s when abortion was illegal in most states women
had to resort to finding an alternate place to have the
procedure done.  These illegal clinics were few and far
between but one place did exist. The Riverside Woman’s
Center was established for the very rich to rid themselves
of unwanted pregnancies. Annie was a famous model who
didn’t want her career disrupted by an unplanned
pregnancy.  She also didn’t want to risk losing the love of
her life, who had not yet established himself in the art
community. Without consulting him, she rid herself of the
child only to find several years later, that the child had
been born alive and was rescued by an employee that was a
family friend. She also suffered the consequences of being
unable to have any more children. The child is named
Crystal. When the friend passes away, she leaves the
information she had about Crystal’s family and she
reconnects with them in the only way she can and the only
way she knows how. Her mother is driven to her death,
while her father kills himself with her help, and after
finding out the truth. Was what she did to them, anything
less than what they did to her?  Think about it
