<p>There is a Bomb in Gileadis the story of individuals and families in one small theatre of the uncivil war that Pro-Life religious fundamentalist militants have waged in the United States on women seeking safe and legal elective abortions, and against those who provide these services. It is set in the fictional town of Gilead just before Easter in the mid-1980's. Against the background of President Reagan's support for anti-abortion activities is set the tales of a beautiful young unwed mother of two, Mary Ann Mack, who is pregnant for the third time; of the God-intoxicated teenager, Joshua Tyler, his mother Elizabeth, and his father-the pious and self-assured Reverend John C. Calhoon Tyler. Their stories are intertwined with that of the town's abortionist, Dr. Hobson, and the histories of some of the girls, women and families who seek his care. While it is set in the 1980's, the lessons to be learned from its scenes are as timely as, and some of the scenes may be, tomorrow's headlines.William F. Harrison, M.D. has been in the private practice of medicine as an obstetrician and gynecologist since 1972. Seeing first-hand the terrible personal and social consequences of illicit abortions during his days as a medical student and resident, he was committed to providing abortion services in his practice, not withstanding death threats, violence, and a degree of public ostracism and professional isolation during the Reagan years. Dr. Harrison lives with his wife of 39 years in his beloved community of Fayetteville, Arkansas, where he still practices gynecology and provides high-quality medical services-including abortion-for a large patient population. He has three adult children and one grandson, and a large extended family living in Fayetteville and throughout Arkansas.</p>
