  • 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.

Planned parenthood has never been about healthcare or women's health.

Anyone who talks about abortion being women's health or how planned parenthood is all about healthcare need to be shown these 2 simple links.

They never have been about women or health. They are truly an evil organization.



And


I never had an opinion on them so much until I found out what they really do. I wonder how many would still support them if they were aware of those Twitter links.

That is like "gender-affirming care." It has nothing to do with affirming the actual biological, physiological, and genetic gender... it has to do with denying and changing it. This is all just more 1984 newspeak from the left.

Yep. It's not logical nor scientific. Truly demonic and mind blowing.

Only about 3% of its expenditures is on abortion.
Planned Parenthood performed 374,155 abortions in 2020-21...
They are cheap.

So?

Still doesn’t justify it.

I know your stance and I’ll agree to disagree and move on.

Take care

I have noticed a common theme with all these Rights based activists. It seems to be centred around the deconstruction of people, families, relationships and society. But you could also take the 'con' part out of deconstruction becuase its also destruction of relationships, people, families and society.

Pro abortion activists have to make out the fetus is just lumps of tissue because any thought of this being life would confront them with the harsh reality that they are actually disrespecting and devaluing life. But thats all part of it. There is not spiritual dimension, its all just material matter that has no meaning.

Theres an element of big brother in wanting to re order and control society. Its not just the issue of abortion but comes with a far reaching ideology about how humans and society should be ordered. A vert detached and cold view of people and the world. I guess if you devalue human life then this affects a persons outlook where everything is devalued.

Calling PP women's healthcare is like calling a demolition derby a new car dealer.

They provide healthcare. The fact that includes abortion services does not negate all the other services they provide that the majority of services provided.

That’s like saying a serial killer is being a productive member to society because he has a job.

I don’t find this assertion credible.

Your opinion aside, they do provide healthcare at a low cost which many women all over the US are grateful for- the vast majority of whom are not seeking abortions.

I still can’t support them. They have the blood of millions on their hands and actively support abortion and push for it.

My opinion only.

I agree. I worked in health care for 40+ years. Years ago, a patient of one of my partners had a wellness exam at a local PP clinic. A breast lump was found. PP doesn't do mammograms, so they referred her back to our practice. Turns out she had malignant breast tumor. Fortunately, it was early enough that it could be removed without her needing a mastectomy. PP saved a life and a breast.

So many people here are incapable of processing nuance within their school of thought.

I wasn't aware of their other services until I went with a friend. She was 18 at the time and got a checkup. They had a sliding fee that was affordable.

I don't bash people about abortion. There's not a person on this earth who hasn't done something they're not ashamed of or hiding from others. When you start weighing sins you look foolish.
