In America after the Second Civil War, the Pro-Choice and Pro-Life
armies came to an agreement: 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. Between the ages of thirteen and
eighteen, however, a parent may choose to retroactively get rid of
a child through a process called "unwinding." Unwinding ensures

common and accepted practice in society, troublesome or unwanted
teens are able to easily be unwound.
