• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

If Roe vs Wade is overturned, will the GOP lose in 2022?

So essentially all they need to do is vote the constitution protect future citizens, or is that already the case?
Future citizens like Refugees and immigrants coming in at the border?

A most interesting thought there, Albion, that probably escaped most of us, including myself.
It presumes an understanding, though, that a court is a political body.
It is not. Or at least, it should NOT be. Citizens should NOT think of a court as a political body and, just as importantly, the court should not ACT as a political body. Given how it was treated by Republican leaders since McConnell/Obama, I think right wingers could be excused for believing the court IS something that can be manipulated via politics.

It was invited.

When? You can't "invite" an embryo that does not exist before conception. So when is the invitation given and when is it received?

Also, a failure of contraception is not an invitation, anymore than a broken lock is an invitation for burglars.

That is like saying the original intent of using a car intended for travel is for a storage shed
No, not if we're talking about HER intent for which she gave permission.

Obviously, consenting to sex is not consenting to pregnancy, especially if contraception is being used.

Then why go through the motions?

I'll answer this in as CF-friendly a way as I can: because some of those "motions" are pretty fun. ;)
