  • 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.

With the recent passing of the Big Beautiful Bill, Congress was able to deliver a major victory for moms and babies across the country — the end of forced taxpayer funding of Big Abortion.

Soon after we learned of the decision to defund, Planned Parenthood announced over 25 clinic closures across the country. Abortion activists, joined by a complicit media, have decried the decision, claiming these closures present a clear and present threat to women’s health.

The perceived threat is based on a decades-long branding strategy to frame abortion as part of women’s healthcare. Millions of Americans (and much of Congress) have been persuaded that “abortion is healthcare” and that Planned Parenthood uniquely provides services that benefit women’s health. Planned Parenthood’s own annual reports prove that myth to be false.

According to a Charlotte Lozier Institute report earlier this year, “In 2022-23, 96.9% of the time, women seeking help related to their pregnancy at Planned Parenthood were sold an abortion rather than given prenatal care, provided care for a miscarriage, or helped to make an adoption plan.” Since 2013, total services have fallen by 10%, cancer screenings and prevention services by 54%, and prenatal services by 63%. Actual health services are decreasing while Planned Parenthood’s cash-generating abortion business admits in their 2023–24 annual report that its “excess of total revenue over total expenses is $27.4 million.”
