“Jesus never asked anyone to form a church, ordain priests, develop elaborate rituals and institutional cultures, and splinter into denominations. His two great requests were that we “love one another as I have loved you” and that we share bread and wine together as an open channel of that interabiding love.”
How can Abortion be anything but Fascism? the story of Freddy Schrimpler — Ken Kesey on Abortion and Euthanasia

Ken Kesey 1935-2001
Krassner: And yet, since you’re against abortion, doesn’t that put you in the position of saying that a girl or a woman must bear an unwanted child as punishment for ignorance or carelessness?
