For Immediate Release

An Alien Future, As Instantly Familiar As Prime Time Politics

The American Abortion War began on January 22, 2061, and ended exactly thirty years to the day later. Thirty years of brutal sectarian violence destroyed the nation, fracturing 21st century America into two diametrically opposed, heavily armed warring camps: the Lifer Coalition and the Choicer Covenant. The differences between Pagan and Christian have been sharpened to a killing edge, with hatreds well nurtured by three decades of assassination and counterassassination, of urban warfare, sociological terrorism and memetic combat.

Today, it is the year 2107 C.E., less than two decades after the Treaty of Boston ended the War. The Choicer nation triumphed, barely, thanks to the sheer power of the post-human soldiers the pagan society was able to field. Today, the Choicers are the dominant social force in North America, and have begun rebuilding the battered nation in accordance with their ethos and traditions. The Lifers are an oppressed underclass, suffering the economic and social consequences of fighting on the losing side. They remain defiant, awaiting the day they can finally bring down the Choicer government.

Neither side believes the violence has truly ended. The Abortion War has only gone cold. Espionage, deniable ops, and political, social and economic backstabbing have replaced tank battles and air strikes as the weapon of choice. Choicer priestesses are murdered in their homes by Lifer fanatics; Lifer politicians are targeted for pre-emptive assassination by the Choicer power structure. The warring pseudo-nations have used this period of detente and quiet war to rebuild, to heal from the massive injuries the War inflicted on both sides. Idealists and moderates struggle to forge a true peace, to transform this new Cold War into something better: a lasting, just peace.
