Kindle Notes & Highlights
The Bill of Life states that human life may not be touched from the moment of conception until a child reaches the age of thirteen.
However, between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, a parent may choose to retroactively “abort” a child… … on the condition that the child’s life doesn’t “technically” end. The process by which a child is both terminated and yet kept alive is called “unwinding.” Unwinding is now a common and accepted practice in society.
Stupid dreams. Even the good ones are bad, because they remind you how poorly reality measures up.
“There are no wrong thoughts, only thoughts that need to be worked through and overcome.”
What does it take to unwind the unwanted? It takes twelve surgeons, in teams of two, rotating in and out as their medical specialty is needed. It takes nine surgical assistants and four nurses. It takes three hours.
