Tori Nor Is Sprouting
by Dana Neacsu
This is the story of Tori Nor, a Romanian girl born in 1967 to a loving family who could not afford not to have her as that would have been criminal. Not because Tori proved to be a good girl, but because abortion had just been criminalized and pushing a fetus out of its womb had become more dangerous than touching anything else. The story is told until Tori reaches the ripe age of 18. And she is ready to leave. This is her journey toward that point of departure into life.
