  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

There are NO exceptions to abortion whatsoever. It is God's will that the woman was impregnated, and therefore she must birth the child!

No exceptions? What about ectopic pregnancies?

I'm glad to see there were no "abortion is OK if she was raped" replies. If she was in fact raped, she must play the hand that was dealt to her, accept it as God's Will, and raise the interracial baby as her own.

What does being the product of rape have to do with being interracial? Just what are you trying to say here?

What about ectopic pregnancies, which will lead to the death of both the fetus and mother?

Or incomplete miscarriages?

It's clear that this is what would happen if abortion was banned and one of the main reasons why im pro-choice.

In favor of general abortion or not pro-choice is the position to be in. We need safe clinics where women can be given safe treatment and medical advice, than visit some underground "doctor" or have DIY abortions.
There are laws against burglary, rape, and armed robbery, yet every one of these crimes continues to happen in our society. That these things still hsppen should not convince us to make them legal. Laws should discourage bad things from happening, not conform to them simply because they happen.

An ectopic pregnancy, loosely explained:

A pregnancy where the embryo develops outside the uterus (or "womb" in the common tongue) usually in the fallopian tubes (which are really tiny and incapable of supporting a developing fetus). It is my understanding, that left untreated (by medical or divine means) an ectopic pregnancy will result in the rupture of whatever structure the embryo/fetus was developing, causing severe injuries, which again, left untreated cause internal bleeding and ultimately death of the woman.

My last review of medical literature on the subject revealed two distressing facts for the anti-abortion position:

1. Outside divine intervention, there is no way for an ectopic pregnancy to result in a live birth.
2. Left untreated an ectopic pregnancy will, outside divine intervention, cause a serious internal injury to the woman which can and has resulted in death.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but it appears at least in this circumstance that the methods of terminating the ectopic pregnancy are both 1) required for the life and/or health of the pregnant woman, and 2) that the preborn entity is in no way (outside divine intervention) viable as such term is understood in medicine or under the laws of the several States.

In other words, you think that rapists are always "non-caucasians"!

Maybe you're not even aware of that, but... when "we unbelievers" read such things, how much of a wonder do you think it is when at least some of us get the impression that christians are racists?

Don't bother to reply to me - I'll do the one right thing now as far as your postings are concerned. I don't want to read such stuff again, and fortunately there's a tool to prevent it in the future.

So, as I wonder once again reading the replies in this thread:

To all of you staunch anti-abortion people, please answer the following - are you aware of the fact that there's more than one reason for why women might want abortions?! :mad:


The reason DOESNT matter...life is precious from conception to natural death..... :mad: :mad: (back at ya.)

Do you have any idea how racist this comment is?

I'm not sure what ectopic means. I can safely say however, it can't be used as a valid excuse for an abortion.

The baby is not at fault for the pregnancy. It takes the mother & father to create a pregnancy, and should be made to deal with the consequences that follow.

Yes. Of course that is if you mean having sex for pleasure, and not procreation. If that is what you meant, I agree with you!

Your violent tool-attack fantasy further proves my point that you atheists continue to persecute us. You do realize this is a Christian forum, don't you? We Christians put up with a lot of abuse these days, and many are lucky we must turn the other cheek.

Translated: You can't enjoy it, so neither should anyone else.
