“He had heard her say, so many times, that a society that approved of making abortion illegal was a society that approved of violence against women; that making abortion illegal was simply a sanctimonious, self-righteous form of violence against women- it was just another way of legalizing violence against women, Nurse Caroline would say.” ― John Irving, The Cider House Rules

There were 26,000 rape-related pregnancies in Greg Abbott's Texas since the decision to overturn Roe v Wade... that's approaching half the US total of 65,000. And it provides further evidence of the wild descent into violent crime that GOP rule in Texas has produced—much of it targeting women.

"St. Larch said, 'Well, then, Homer, I expect you to be of use.' For Homer Wells, this was easy. Of use, he felt, was all that an orphan was born to be."

--John Irving, The Cider House Rules

In the boys’ division, they were waiting for him. Some of the smaller ones had fallen asleep. The others were open-eyed—seemingly, open-mouthed, like baby birds; Homer felt he was rushing from nest to nest, his voice feeding them as they always cried for more.

- John Irving, The Cider House Rules

I’ve been reading John Irving’s The Cider House Rules and let me tell you I have NEVER related to a character more than Dr. Wilbur Larch!

I’ll never be a Harvard educated physician, but huffing ether and ranting about the hypocrisy of the anti-abortion movement would absolutely be my jam if I were.
