The crazy thing is that I had pitched this story to Byron when I told him I was pregnant.
I said, I dont know that Ive ever seen that on television,' Sanchez says.
And I also thought it was interesting that Lisa really didnt want this baby.
What would happen to somebody who loses something they never really recognized they wanted in the first place?
I dont know why people dont talk about this issue, Sanchez says.
Were a culture thats obsessed with watching celebrity baby bumps and whos pregnant.

In the end, Lisas story is not Sanchezs story, but that was never the point.
The point was tackling a story that TV and society too often avoids.

As much as I was revealing myself and what I had been through, Lisa doesnt really do that.
