New Book, Nobody Else's Business, Warns About the Impending Weaponization of Pregnancy
PARK CITY, Utah, April 10, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- It's the 2008 election season and the war between Pro-Life and Pro-Choice factions has become so intense, that one organization is scheming to cause unintended pregnancies in the families of Pro-Life politicians, while another encourages its followers to bomb clinics and cut off the hands of doctors who perform abortions.
The conflict gets much more personal for the family of Congressman Mark Wagner. His fourteen-year-old daughter, Pamela, fending for herself while her parents were preoccupied, had insufficient knowledge to avoid pregnancy. Senator Roger Evans's seventeen-year-old daughter, Vivian, faithfully took her birth control pills, but as can happen, they failed.
Both teenagers have fathers who are staunch Pro-Lifers. Both teens and their associates wind up in grave danger when conspirators expose their private dilemmas to the world.
Author Beverly Hurwitz has been an eye-witness to the unfortunate consequences of unwanted pregnancies. "As a young teacher, summoned to an emergency in a high school bathroom, I witnessed the horror of an attempted self-abortion," said Hurwitz. "That same year, I had no choice but to allow a student in the back of the room to sleep through my first period class, when I learned that he was actually a good student who worked in a factory all night to support his young bride and their baby. Such was high school culture before Roe v. Wade granted individuals the right to choose."
In her second career as a physician, specializing in the care of persons with neurologic disability, she was and still is, haunted by the cases of unwanted, and severely deprived or abused children who populate chronic care facilities. "Today, when I read about the Zika virus causing babies to have profound neurologic impairments, I am reminded that women in previous decades were forced to bear children with devastating birth defects from causes like the rubella virus, because safe abortion was legally inaccessible in the United States for a century," continues Hurwitz.
In 1973, the United States Supreme Court granted women legal, limited ownership of their pregnancies. The radical characters in this novel demonstrate what could happen if that ownership is hijacked for political purposes. This political thriller explores the medical, religious, economic, and historical aspects of the abortion issue, as it draws the reader onto a frightening battleground where powerful forces resort to extraordinary weaponry to both preserve and eradicate the rights of humans to fully understand and manage their ability to procreate.
