The War on Abortion Rights!
"No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body."
— Margaret Sanger
Six days ago, a harsh reality set in for abortion providers across America. A New York doctor was indicted in Louisiana for prescribing abortion pills to a Louisiana resident. This is a landmark case that signals a dangerous escalation in the war between states that ban abortion and those that fight to protect it. It feels eerily similar to the story I tell in my book Tortured Justice Alabama.
Dr. Margaret Carpenter, the New York physician at the heart of this case, was acting under her state's telemedicine abortion shield law. She was legally prescribing medication in New York, but Louisiana decided to go after her anyway. This marks the first time a state has filed criminal charges against a doctor for sending abortion pills into a state with a ban. The message is clear. Anti-abortion states are willing to reach beyond their borders to punish doctors for helping women access reproductive healthcare.
This is exactly the kind of legal and ethical nightmare that Tortured Justice Alabama explores. My book isn’t just a story. It’s a mirror reflecting the terrifying reality of post-Roe America.
Tortured Justice Alabama A Fictional Story That Feels Like Breaking News
My novel follows Dr. Stephanie Jackson, an OBGYN in Indiana who legally performs an abortion for a 12-year-old girl from Alabama. Carla, the young girl, was raped by her cousin and impregnated. Her mother, desperate to protect her, secretly takes her to Indiana, where abortion is still legal. What should have been a private and necessary medical decision turns into a legal firestorm when Alabama authorities come after them all.
A politically ambitious district attorney in Alabama decides to make an example out of Dr. Jackson just as Louisiana is doing to Dr. Carpenter today. He charges her with conspiracy to commit homicide by abortion even though she performed a legal procedure in a state where abortion is allowed. Sound familiar It should because this isn’t just fiction anymore. It’s happening right now.
Why This Matters and Why You Need to Read This Book
The indictment of Dr. Carpenter shows that abortion is no longer just a state issue. It’s a nationwide battle. States with bans are now reaching across borders, weaponizing their laws to punish doctors, women, and anyone involved in providing access to reproductive care.
Tortured Justice Alabama dives deep into these issues, showing how laws written to control women’s bodies can destroy lives. It explores the devastating impact of these legal battles not just on doctors but on the women and families caught in the crossfire. It asks hard questions.
· Should a doctor in one state be prosecuted for legally providing care in another?
· What happens when the law cares more about politics than about a 12-year-old rape victim?
· How far will anti-abortion states go to control women’s healthcare decisions?
