Trump didn't even know Ghislaine Maxwell (??)

That is was what I was told by a Trump campaign staffer on LinkedIn. After I posted the link below, with its very first photo being the exact photo that he had said was photoshopped, he still maintained that it was a "fake."
I told him I gave up. He had obviously won the argument by his criteria, which is that shouting "Fake News" loud enough makes any fact disappear. I left him with one of my favorite quotes from George Bernard Shaw:
"Never wrestle a pig. You both get dirty, and then you realize that the pig is enjoying it."

Facebook exchange

“Well, Trump would have secured the airport at Kabul.”
“Hell, he couldn’t secure the US Capitol two blocks away.”

Bob Marley and the abortion debate

Bob Marley injured a toe kicking a soccer ball, and when it didn’t heal, doctors found a melanoma under the nail. He was advised to have the toe amputated immediately, but his Rastafarian faith did not allow him to remove any part of the “temple” that God had created. This decision cost him his life.
What does this have to do with abortion? Opposition to abortion is as much a religious decision as was Marley’s choice not to have his toe removed.
How would anti-abortion activists react if told they would have to die rather than have a toe removed because the Rastafarian majority in the Supreme Court decided to follow their faith?
