In the book there was The Heartland War or also known as The Second Civil war which ended with the Bill of life, which satisfied both sides Pro-life and Pro-choice. The Bill stated that the human life could not be touched from the moment of conception until the child reaches the age of thirteen to eighteen, then the parents could have the option to have their child unwound.

I honestly never really been into dystopian novels but Unwind really changed that for
