NOVELIST WANTS NEW BOOK TO CAUSE PEOPLE TO THINK ABOUT ABORTION


by Laura Peredo
Live Action News

Kasey Jackson is a wife and pro-life advocate who, in the last two years, had twin boys and wrote the newly released pro-life allegorical suspense novel BLUE. The book is written in a a unique histopian genre as it intertwines a fictional story with real-life historical events, namely the implementation of the Termination of Pregnancy Bill in South Africa in 1996.
Jackson believes that “art influences culture” and wanted to reach across the pro-life vs. pro-choice divide through her writing. The original inspiration for the story came “after watching a documentary about the social justice issue of the harvesting of body parts of people with albinism in different areas of Africa.” Her motivation for the story “was to explore the subject of abortion in a way that was approachable from BOTH sides of the debate–pro-life and pro-choice–to hopefully open up a fresh discussion about this issue.”
Laura, a junior Business Management major at Benedictine College, joined the pro-life movement a few years ago. In her 'free time' she enjoys reading about current life and faith issues, writing about them, and having debates about them. She loves her big family, summertime, Catholic memes, blogging, babies, stories about people who defy the odds against them, and inspiring people to be the best versions of themselves. Laura foresees a future working with pregnancy resource centers, and will never stop fighting the injustice of devaluing human life. Follow her blog at: asingledropintheocean.com
