    They’re not looking at these situations at all. They’re ignoring them. Their only care is that abortion is abolished.

    As a Christian….

    …she figured that if a woman really needed one, she could get it.

    Ignorance is bliss; until it’s not.

      “It’s not a problem until it affects me”

      These fuckers don’t deserve the compassion they deny others.

        It’s not as black and white as that; I pity people like her. They have been lied to their entire lives; first by their parents, then by other supposed trusted adults (like priests or whatever their cult calls their leaders these days), and finally by Big Brother. So to some extent, they too are victims¥.

        ¥ There are limits of course to my pity.

        They have had more than enough time and access to national and world news to have figured it out in their own. The real news will be what these people - and people in similar situations - do going forward with their newfound cognitive dissonance.
