Of course it can be used. The fact that it is partly fluid doesn't mean we just throw it out and elect criminals. Breaking the rules and laws of our country is exactly what Trump is accused of doing.The point is that your standard of morality can't be universally applied to most people, because a large percentage of the population of the world would consider abortions to be immoral. So who are you or anyone to determine whats moral or not? We can't, and thus why it can't be used as a tool to measure the character of a person. The clear answer to the problem is to establish certain rules, and have the person follow them. That is what makes a person right for a job.
A newly fertilized egg is basically a blob of snot with a whole lot of potential. It is not a living being. It cannot breathe or procreate. It certainly isn't a person. It doesn't even have a brain yet.As for abortions, science does universally agree that conception is the start of life. What you are doing is using as an example a very tiny amount of the total cases of abortion to make your point in favour of it, but in reality most cases of abortion are done for personal reasons that have little to do with health. Also I was talking about late-term abortions in which the fetus can be extracted from the uterus and kept alive, instead of being killed.
But again, your personal stance on abortion isn't the issue. The problem is if you wished to impose your own "morality" on others.
What I wish is to NOT impose my morality on others by allowing them to make those choices themselves. That is what the law Trump was misrepresenting allows. A "late-term abortion" is not a medical term. It means after 21 weeks. A full term baby is 40 weeks. Abortions after 21 weeks make up about 1% of abortions according to the CDC.
No one questions that russians did try to influence the election, but I have argued this before with you, there is nothing wrong with spreading propaganda about one candidate. If people decided not to vote for one candidate, and choose the other, its their own choice and russians have no controll over that.
Now the question is whether Trump colluded with the russians in doing this, which would be on the very least, unethical. But no evidence of this has appeared. Also, at most the allegations are about Trump recieving information on HC, and using it against her, which again wouldn't actually be illegal, even if the source is another goverment.
The problem is that you have created this whole "russia collusion" issue, for what it is pretty much the usual political gossip among individuals. Nothing more than that. There is no real crime on it. And 2 years is a long time for the main investigation going on in your country; and to come up with nothing?
I have not created anything. I'm just an innocent bystander to this mess. People have been charged with actual crimes. You don't get to decide what our laws are.
There is absolutely nothing usual about Trump's presidency. He is a disgrace to an office I used to hold in the highest regard, regardless of which party was holding it.
