In this same piece, Chan goes on to describe the two sides of herself as represented in “Nude as the News.” One side is weak and the other is strong. In Chan's mind, her weaker self is the one that felt she had no choice but to terminate her pregnancy. The strong self is the one that knew she had two options and chose the one that wouldn't turn her into a hopelessly young mom.

The protective second self… made me get the abortion, … made me get out of certain situations in my past, … helped me survive, and get away from the would-be father of the child. The first self… the child's self, the weak self, the dependent self, the naïve self, didn't have the strength.… The second self is like the stronger me, the woman me, rationalizing with human rights and women's rights, telling the child in me that it's going to be okay, having to be stronger than I am, in a way.
