  • 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.

None of the pro-life laws that states have passed in the two years since the end of Roe v. Wade prevent women from receiving medical care for a miscarriage or another pregnancy-related emergency.

A recently released political ad features a fictional woman’s bitter final words to her father, a supporter of Donald Trump, as she lay dying from an implied pregnancy complication.

“It didn’t have to end this way, Dad,” the woman says. “You knew what he’d do. You knew his politics would end my freedom, my rights. You chose hate over me.”

The woman isn’t the only thing that’s fictional about the ad. None of the pro-life laws that states have passed in the two years since the end of Roe v. Wade prevent women from receiving medical care for a miscarriage or another pregnancy-related emergency.

The ad, from an anti-Trump political action group called The Lincoln Project, drew a swift condemnation from pro-life leaders.

“Shame on you, @ProjectLincoln for spreading blatant lies,” Dr. Christina Francis, CEO of American Association of Pro-Life OB-GYNs, wrote on X. “Every law in the country allows for OBGYNs like me to intervene immediately when a woman has a potentially life-threatening condition. Stop intimidating people with lies. Prolife laws protect women and girls.”

You know, there are extenuating circumstances that I completely understand but it does not make it right. We are at a point now where it has become a rite of passage for some. Some actually celebrate it. If you can run on a ticket where that’s your main foundation of getting elected… I think that speaks for itself.
