Washington tells Women’s Wear Daily that abortion is "a reality, and more often than not, it’s a really difficult choice to make. The same was true for Olivia. But by not having those moments represented in media, we add to the idea that there’s something shameful to be talked about. It’s always important that our storytelling reflects the real experiences of human beings, because it allows us to not feel as alone.”
