Abortion is a controversial issue. From one side I support it because women have the right to control their bodies. Some of them find it the only choice to their problems. The other side of me is this story. After reading this story I think of abortion as a brutal process. I think of those women who do abortion as criminals. They make an assumption that it is a legal process; in fact it is not if they just try to go beyond that assumption. It is actually an act of killing innocent people. The victims have no choice. They can not decide for their lives. The decision is already made for them. Tisdale says" The creature I watch in secret requires nothing from me but to be left alone, and that is precisely what won't be done."(395). This part makes me feel sick.

I think that life is not important to those kinds of people when they rather have boys than girls. They are close-minded and not educated enough to believe in this.

I read the packing slip, assess the shape and weight of the box in light of its supposed contents. We request familiar faces. The doors are carefully locked; I have learned to half glance around at bags and boxes, looking for a telltale sign. I register with security when I arrive, and I am careful not to bang a door.
