Because what is legal depends upon the Supreme Court, and if you give Trump long enough, he may appoint justices that will change direction. He's certainly appointing plenty of unqualified judges at lower levels. If the death of any fertilized egg is truly the moral equivalent of the death of any adult, it's hard to see how any issue other than abortion could matter. That's a disaster, because I think Trump is using abortion as a shield behind which he can do whatever he wants. But it's a shield that may work.That I should why I sort of invented the term actionable proximity unless there is a better term. It must be taken into account. The president can pardon, write execuIve orders and has major powerful influence on many issues that can change daily. While abortion is settled law. Why should abortion outweigh other issues when it way down on the list of doable, actionable issues?
