  • 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.

Can people who disagree on abortion stop attacking each other?

It’s relevant to the claim that they had the same level of understanding as we do.
They obviously did, because science has only just recently proven the prior knowledge.

i intend to vote. do you suggest i vote for abortion or against it?
I am going to go out on a limb here and say that encouraging others to vote in favor of abortion being legal would run afoul of the no promoting abortion rule so I am not going to suggest that.

On a side note thus far when the issue has been put to a direct vote it has anti-abortion proposals have been soundly defeated even in red states.

Their knowledge level was the same as ours so I guess they let all those women die from complications in pregnancy' and birth, that they would understand because their knowledge level was the same as ours, because reasons?

I'm talking biblical knowledge versus scientific knowledge (which is also medical knowledge) also, we're arguing the validity of human life here, not advancements in technology.

Apparently it hasn't advanced as people thousands of years about had the same level of knowledge as we do now and just waiting to establish modern medical practices for reasons.

Even the so-called "moral" argument given by pro-choicers isn't backed up by data. Looks like the science actually backs up pro-life.


"Though abortion advocates frequently assert the safety of the abortion procedure and downplay the risks, the physiological and psychological complications are documented and numerous. Immediate health risks include uterine perforation, cervical lacerations, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and death. Abortion also puts a woman’s future pregnancies in jeopardy as it places her at elevated risk for pre-term delivery, placenta previa, and ectopic pregnancy."

Not sure why you quoted me to post that, it has no relation to anything I said.

I don’t trust pro-life sources as they usually misrepresent the data. Also most abortions are medical, prior to 8 weeks and surgical abortion is needed for the much smaller percentage that happen after after the first trimester.

You still have nothing to back up your claim.

From: What Percentage of Abortions Are Medically Necessary?

"The short answer to this question is “zero.”

Medical science has progressed to the point where an abortion is never necessary to preserve the life or the health of the mother. This has been true for more than half a century.

Abortions performed to preserve the life or the health of the mother are so rare that they do not register statistically, according to Alan Guttmacher of Planned Parenthood, who did more to promote and spread abortion on demand throughout the world than any other individual. In 1967 he commented, “Today it is possible for almost any patient to be brought through pregnancy alive, unless she suffers from a fatal disease such as cancer or leukemia, and if so, abortion would be unlikely to prolong, much less save the life.”

No. Especially when it's an embryo and not a fetus.
Both an embryo and a fetus are stages of development of a human being. You didn't evolve from an embryo, you once were an embryo.

If you don't think that a human life is valuable that is up to you, but don't be surprised that other people think nobody should willfully end the life of an innocent human being without their consent.
