  • 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.

A midwife is among individuals who are the first to be charged under currrent laws in Texas for performing illegal abortions as the state vigorously enforces its near-total ban on abortion.

Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton announced the arrest of midwife Maria Margarita Rojas, 48, on Monday for "providing illegal abortions and illegally operating a network of clinics in the Northwest Houston area." Rojas' facilities are located in the Houston suburbs of Cypress, Waller and Spring.

Rojas was charged with the illegal performance of an abortion, which is a second-degree felony, and practicing medicine without a license. She faces fines of up to $100,000 per infraction and a potential life sentence. Rojas was taken into custody in Waller County.
