Description
George W. Hackenbush, Sarah Piglin, Bill “the Grill†O’Reilly, Capitan Barack “La Bamba†Obama, Jeremiah “Bullfrog†Wright, and Godzillary Clinton—these are just a few of the zany personalities that populate The Cat and the Cradle, a satirical fable about the politics of abortion.
When the promiscuous Lilith Hackenbush becomes pregnant and decides to abort her fetus/baby, her cat takes it personally (as personally as a cat can take it, that is). Moxie, a voraciously literary cat with the power of speech teams up with his owner’s uncle—George W. Hackenbush—to embark on a disturbing intellectual journey to the heart of a controversial subject that has polarized the country for nearly 40 years.
In a race against time, Moxie pits his fine feline intellect against a diverse and “bipartisan†cast of characters, from a mystical owl to a mythical chimera, from a capitalist snake to a pragmatic fox, from Sissyfuss the Democratic jackass to that Tea Party animal Infallibull. In his desperate search for the truth, Moxie travels from the stagnant swamps of Florida to the stagnant minds of Washington—all the way to the Oval Office and the President himself. In this feline Odyssey, Moxie the cat seeks answers to the difficult questions Americans have been asking since the January 22, 1973 Roe v. Wade decision: Is abortion ethical? Should it be legal?
How shall we respond?
