Unplanned Choices
has been described as:
·
Incredible. A historical novel that outlines the
never-spoken-about sexual revolution and restrictions on women's reproductive
rights. I recommend this book to any and all.
·
Unplanned
Choices is a gripping book. I read it whenever I could until it ended.
Unplanned Choices, a historical
romantic drama, set in the late 1960s and early 1970s in New York City
and Long Island during the turbulent period of the Viet Nam War, the sexual
revolution, the women’s movement, and the struggle for legalizing abortion. It
is the story of Steve Lynch’s and his first love Anna Marino, who became
pregnant, died during an abortion, and the impact of the abortion on Steve, the
abortionist, Anna’s family and friends, and the investigators of Anna’s death.
Anna contacted a “silent
network” of female students and doctors who performed abortions, which were
then illegal in NY. Unfortunately, Anna had a reaction to the local anesthesia
Lidocaine during her abortion that stopped her heart.
Anna’s parents and the police
began a frantic search for Anna when she did not return home. Steve was of no
help in finding Anna since she had stopped talking to him a week before her
death after an argument over the potential abortion.
Steve’s sorrow was compounded by
the hated of Anna’s father. He threatened to kill Steve if he had impregnated
Anna and if she had died during an abortion. While Steve was able to convince
her father that she was not pregnant, he became an enemy of one of the
detectives, Michael Phillips, investigating Anna’s death. Phillips was an
anti-abortion fundamental Southern Baptist, who talked to God.
Phillips could not forget his
belief that Dr. Green had committed an abortion causing the death of Anna, and
should be punished. Phillips received a revelation from God instructing him to
kill Dr. Green for his crime and to stage the murder to implicate Steve for his
pro-abortion activities.
Situations similar to that portrayed
in Unplanned Choices, could be
replicated hundreds of thousands of times in the future if abortion becomes
illegal in the United States.
