• 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.

So, killing them off by not giving them a food source is ok?
You keep trying to change the subject, which is that pregnancy has not occurred if the egg does not implant.

Vegan are you? Because when Pro-life people say "Life" they tend to mean only Human life and only in particular circumstances.
No. Animals can be used for meat, not the same as human life.

Irrelevant. You claimed it was a pregnancy and every time someone points out that is incorrect you do not address it.
What are you if you are carrying a fertilized egg? Pregnant.

Huh, turns out we are both wrong.

When does a pregnancy start?​

The start of pregnancy is actually the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). This is the gestational age of the fetus. It’s about two weeks ahead of when conception actually occurs. Though it may seem strange, the date of the first day of your last period will be an important date when determining your due date. Your healthcare provider will ask you about this date and will use it to figure out how far along you are in your pregnancy.

Perhaps you should of said "Life* should be protected, respectfully."

* Only applicable for human life on particular situations.

:D
No. All humans. All circumstances.

Animals should be treated humanely, too.

Wait. Before sex actually occurred or after? I know conception occurs inside the Fallopian tubes and not the uterus.

Before conception can occur. I suppose it’s just an easier reference point to start the count because the actual date of conception is unknown. On average it can occur two weeks after the first day of the menstrual period. Not an exact science.

It is or it isn’t. There’s no grey area.
If you like, but realize that is a religious opinion, not a scientific one. In real life the boundary between life and non-life is fuzzy and indistinct.

The oldest IVF embryo that was successfully implanted was, I believe, 27 years-old. We’re they “alive“ for those 27 years, in their cryogenic state?

It’s not a religious opinion. At all.
