  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

A sister needs our prayers!

With good reason...but even then, if she is lying about this, she still needs prayers because this isn't something to joke about.
I understand how you are feeling. Realize that 4 out of 6 women by the age of 45 will have had an abortion. Based on those numbers, if she isn't then someone else on this board reading those posts, is. Your prayers and words are not in vain....we just need to do the math.

That many? I didn't know it was that high - that's very sad. :(

Let's all pray for this girl and give her the encouragement she needs to keep her baby. Like Maggie said, even if she is making this up, someone else out there might see it and need the help.

Pro dolorosa Eius passione, miserere nobis et totius mundi.
Sanctus Deus, Sanctus Fortis, Sanctus Immortalis, miserere nobis et totius mundi.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.

Lisa have the same thread at two other message board I know of, Catholic Online and Catholic Answers. She has got very good advice in both places.

I know of parents that force their children to have abortions. They use fear tactics like "we're going to kick you out of the house, where will you and the kid live", " you have to quit school" and so on. That's very frightning to hear for a young teen ager. I cases like this I blame the parents for their cruelty. They should instead support and take care of their pregnant daughter. If the daughter after the child's birth want to give the child up for adoption, by her own free will, that's fine. If she wants to keep the child they should be there for both.

Here we also have a classic case of a teacher sexually abuse a young student (which is illegal) and he misuse her trust and loyalty. She don't want to tell anybody about this.

(This poster might be a troll or baiter, I have a gut feeling about this) Sorry, Lisa, if you are honest about this. But you have to understand that we get a lot of "odd" stuff in forums like this.
