Cut to today’s presidential debate, Trump saying he is not against abortion.

It has nothing to do with religion. You are being intellectually dishonest by saying this. As a reported aren't you supposed to report on the facts, instead of spinning a story to make it seem like a faith issue? You are only doing this so that you can make the pro-life movement seem like a religious movement. People from all walks of life a real pro life mam; atheist, religious, agnostics, and nones as well. If you were so confident that the facts would be enough, you wouldn't feel the need to spin a story this way. Please check your biases, stop calling the prolife movement is a religious one. Just because a portion of the people who attend are religious, does not mean people blindly follow the pro life movement because of their religion. They do so because it is a reasonable movement.

Kellyanne Conway says, Martin Luther King Jr. would not approve of Trump impeachment. I don't agree that he would be focusing on the Trump impeachment. Here is why. First. Mr. King would be appalled that we are talking about an impeachment of a President, instead of talking about the ongoing race problem, that still to this very day has not been solve. As former Attorney General Eric Holder, said in 2009, " Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards. Though race related issues continue to occupy a significant portion of our political discussion, and though there remain many unresolved racial issues in this nation, we, average Americans, simply do not talk enough with each other about race. It is an issue we have never been at ease with and given our nation’s history this is in some ways understandable. And yet, if we are to make progress in this area we must feel comfortable enough with one another, and tolerant enough of each other, to have frank conversations about the racial matters that continue to divide us. But we must do more- and we in this room bear a special responsibility. Through its work and through its example this Department of Justice, as long as I am here, must - and will - lead the nation to the "new birth of freedom" so long ago promised by our greatest President. This is our duty and our solemn obligation." @t

His Christians say he is sent by God so it is only fitting for him to be involved in the creation myths.
