  • 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.

Mason Herring, a solo legal practitioner, struck a plea deal and was sentenced to 180 days in jail and 10 years probation after poisoning his wife's water and sports drink with misoprostol, an agent often used to induce abortion.

(Live Action) — The first person charged with felony assault to induce abortion in Harris County, Texas, has struck a plea deal and has been sentenced with only six months (180 days) jail time and 10 years probation.

Mason Herring, a solo legal practitioner who practiced law in New Mexico and Texas, attempted several times to surreptitiously cause the death of his preborn child. He poisoned his wife’s water and sports drink with misoprostol, an agent often used to induce abortion. When his wife grew suspicious of the cloudy water, he persevered and encouraged her to “stay hydrated,” even refusing to leave until she finished his concoction.

According to a February 8, 2024, article by the New York Times, Herring “pleaded guilty to injury of a child and assault of a pregnant [woman] as part of a plea agreement.”

Catherine Herring, the suspect’s wife, became suspicious when her husband took out the trash. She stated in her complaint that it was “out of character for” him, because “he does not do chores around the house…” When she investigated what was in the trash, she found empty Cyrux packages in the bin.
