  • 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.

Earlier this year, a Michigan state representative admitted to having surgery in order to prevent herself from conceiving children. Fearing the fate of her “reproductive freedom” under the Trump Administration, she chose to have the sterilization surgery. She claims to worry about things such as insurance coverage and access to contraceptives, but the main issue is that she is part of a culture that doesn’t want children and idolizes self. Why would our culture take such drastic measures to avoid having children?

This is a chilling example of how fear and extreme political ideologies shape personal decisions and views on family and children when a more significant issue is at the heart of the matter. Birth rates are declining worldwide, and pro-natalist policies designed to produce more children are failing. Although governments are attempting to reverse these trends with policies, the core issue isn’t a lack of policy but the rejection of the family unit as the foundation of a strong society.
