  • 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.

Prosecutors have taken action against a pro-life activist who barricaded himself in a Pennsylvania abortion clinic restroom, which required a SWAT team response.

The U.S. Department of Justice filed a civil lawsuit against Minnesota resident Matthew Connolly for violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act by participating in a Red Rose Rescue at an abortion clinic in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in August 2021.

The FACE Act subjects those who "by force or threat of force or by physical obstruction, intentionally injures, because that person is or has been" providing "reproductive health services" to federal charges.

I don't know how I feel about this. If he was outside the clinic protesting and praying, I would have supported him.

Inside? Eh.
