The Trial of Abigail Goodman

Written in 1993, this is the story of Professor Goodman, a 41 year old, married female with 2 grown children who finds herself unexpectedly pregnant. She opts, after much thought, to terminate the pregnancy, only to find herself arrested a month later and charged under a new law that retroactively makes abortion a capital offense. The book's cover says this could really happen which is impossible to believe but certainly may be possible. The outcome of the story is a surprize, but nothing like what I expected. The DA was a dummy, but her defense team, naturally, brilliant. The Judge should have been presiding over the OJ trial. Read it, it's very good.
