The Abortionist

The Abortionist

In the third decade of the 21st century, Dr. Jon Conneaut is a doctor for hire by individuals wanting an abortion for themselves or loved one. Fanatical conservatives have total control of America and abortion is against the law so Dr. Conneaut’s work is generally done secretively. President Lisa Christian has total and utter revulsion for doctors breaking the law surreptitiously has developed an agency whose sole priority is getting rid of abortionists. Jon has spent most of his career hiding his medical practice from the law, however, that changes when his lover, a fellow doctor, Julia discovers one of their colleagues had been killed and hung in the streets of Salt Lake City, Utah. Not long after Julia is hunted down by the government goons and killed in her hotel room. Jon’s practice is also discovered by the government and he barely escapes a trap set by them while performing an abortion in San Antonio. Although the secret clinic of doctors to which Conneaut belongs is still strong, he is told to leave the country before the government catches him. Dr. Jon flies the Bermuda islands, and within a few hours of being there, he receives a phone call in his hotel room. Someone is asking for an abortion. How did they discover he is there? He wonders and therefore is very cautious as he goes to the meeting place. That is when he meets Sally, who runs a brothel on the main island. She is pregnant. Following the abortion Sally and Jon develop a relationship that soon evolves into love. And though her he meets another doctor, Tom Sessions. Tom invites Jon to share his medical practice. Jon obliges and begins to once again to practice medicine…and of course the occasional abortion. Jon begins to breathe a little easier thinking he has escaped the U.S. government, but President Christian has long arms and soon Jon’s whereabouts are discovered. He is eventually taken into custody by the goon squad. However, on the way back to Florida, he is thrown out of the airplane, leaving him for dead in a Cuban bay. Fortunately, for Jon he survives the fall into the water and swims to lighted buoy from where he rescued the next morning thanks to Sally’s and Tom’s intervention. They are also quite well connected and have quite a few resources at their disposal. After rest and recuperation from his ordeal in the bay Jon continues his practice with Tom Sessions, buys a home, and feels certain he is safe now, but he isn’t. The Federal government has discovered that he survived the toss into the Cuban bay as well as his current whereabouts….again. However, this time Dr. Jon Conneaut and Sally have decided to make their way to the Falklands, but again he is discovered. The FBI apprehends him and flies him back to the States. This time he is placed in a stark, cold concrete shack in northern Michigan. With the winter approaching, he’s not expected to survive very long without food or water, neither of which is given to him. The next morning however, he is rescued by a backwoodsman who calls himself a Democrat who was condemned to the same cell but dug his way out years before. He has since made it his mission to rescue anyone else who is brought and placed into it. The woodsman, Rollins, befriends Jon and hides him in the deep woods of Michigan, until Sally and Tom manage to find him and fly him back to Bermuda. It’s a precarious trip in which they’re almost shot down by a US Military jet commanded a high ranking officer (one of the people who put John into the concrete shack) who has had it up to his ears with the ‘Bitch President’, decides to let the man go free. By this time an uprising occurs in the United States and the Progressives take control of the government. ‘President’ Lisa Christian is brought handcuffed and ironically l.
