This is a movie about abortion.

Regarding the issue of abortion, although I am a male and have never aborted others, I still have a say. Because of religious reasons, I used to strongly oppose abortion. At that time I thought abortion was killing. One reason many people oppose abortion is religion. The United States is a country with a very strong religious atmosphere. It is a country established by the Puritans. Today I am still a religious person. But I think that the religious world should not be allowed to enter the secular life too much. Life has to rely on science and reason. And this movie describes another serious consequence of the ban on abortion. Will children born as a result of the prohibition of abortion be abandoned and become orphans? Childhood without maternal and fatherly love is very miserable. Even if these children are not abandoned, if there is no good living environment, who knows who they will become?

The Cider House Rules quotes

  • Homer Wells: I've looked at so many women. I've seen everything, and felt nothing. But when I look at you, it hurts.

  • [Homer reads the actual Cider House Rules to the illiterate workers]

    Peaches: What do they think, go up to the roof to sleep? They must think we're crazy. They think we're dumb niggers, so we need some dumb rules, is what they think.

    Rose Rose: That's it? It don't mean nothin' at all. And all this time I been wonderin' about 'em.

    Arthur Rose: They outrageous, them rules. Who live in this cider house? Who grindin' up those apples, pressin' that cider, cleanin' up all this mess? Who just plain live here, just breathin' in that vinegar? Well, someone who don't live here made those rules. Those rules ain't for us. We are supposed to make our own rules. And we do. Every single day.
