These people say: “If you can’t afford kids, don’t have them!”

Ignorance. It’s bliss I guess.

“To lazy to work or get job, that’s you’re problem.”

“Your sugars are high! Stop eating! What’s that?”

Ignorance. It’s bliss I guess.

“No money, no meds! All will be fine if you stop being fat.”

“Abortion is murder and murder is wrong!”

Ignorance. It’s bliss I guess.

“You could have just closed your legs, abortions against God!”

“Uh… oh. You were drugged then violently raped?”

Ignorance. It’s bliss I guess.

“Well it’s your fault your wore a dress that shows your shape.”

“Are you sure that’s what happened?”

Ignorance. It’s bliss I guess.

“Are you this wasn’t imagined?”

“Look, there’s a problem- this rape fetus is ectopic-“

Ignorance. It’s bliss I guess.

“But that heart beat might serve us a docket-

“Oh look. What a relief- she’s already dead.”
