Back Cover

Her friends began referring to the news as the Peggy Jarman Show because she was on television morning, noon and night during the siege. That was when Operation Rescue, aided by every level of government—local, state, and federal—took over her city. Now she tells all—reveals names, actions, inactions, and strategies of government officials, anti-choice fanatics, and pro-choice activists. The time was the summer of 1991 in Wichita, Kansas, but she does not stop there. Fetus Fanatics takes us from the siege into 2005. Examples include what has happened in the state and a look at how George Bush continues what his father started—the dismantling of reproductive freedom. She ends with a paradigm shift that presents new language for pro-choice America. Many will not like the paradigm shift at first read, but it is a language she believes has a chance to preserve our right to privacy. No compromise, just common sense.

This is a memoir so Jarman does not tell you how you should feel, just how she feels. Many will relate to her fears given where we are today. Antis (anti-choice, anti-birth control, anti-family planning, anti-stem cell research, anti-end of life issues, anti-gay and lesbian rights, anti-religion, except theirs) play a huge role in formulating today's policies and how you vote does make the difference between who decides the personal issues in your life: should you decide or should the government?
