  • 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.

Then you believe falsely, since (a) abortion is not commited "with a criminal state of mind", since abortion is not a crime and (b) homicide is the killing of a person by another, and a fetus is not a person.

How can you say a fetus is not a person? It is a living organism...as soon as it is conceived.

The moment a person is conceived until the day they lie down at the end of their life, they are prescious and worth protecting. To destroy them at any stage in between is murder.
I am against all murder!!

Neither is a fetus.

I know that it makes it easier to tell yourself that, but you are wrong.

you are compartmentalising a foetus as something somehow different from humanity, because it makes it easier for you to support abortion.

it is understandable, you don't want to wrestle with the fact that it is a child, because you have been indoctrinated into mindlessly supporting abortion. the feminist lobby in the media portray the pro-life movement as somehow anti-women (despite the fact that women are the majority in the movement).

when you break free of the shackles of political correctness, you will be able to open your eyes

I realize that now...someone told me you aren't a Christian...which also makes me understand why you DONT understand that a baby IS living as soon as it is concieved......

you don't have to be Christian to oppose the slaughter of the unborn. of course, being a Christian makes it harder for evil to corrupt your thinking

Isn't that what is most wonderful about the murder industry? People can go in and do their deeds in an anonymous fashion and be praised for being so with the times and not letting a baby interfere with her body.

No, don't worry about what I think. How about worrying about what the baby thinks. And even though you don't believe it today, everyone will worry about what God thinks at some point.

"I know that it makes it easier to tell yourself that, but you are wrong.

you are compartmentalising a foetus as something somehow equal to humanity, because it makes it easier for you to oppose abortion.

it is understandable, you don't want to wrestle with the fact that it is not human, because you have been indoctrinated into mindlessly opposing abortion. the religious right lobby portrays the pro-choice movement as somehow anti-human .

Dont feel bad. It doesn't make sense when I say it either. But it surprises me that you seem to believe you know why someone thinks something, and you can tell them what they think. Did you think that maybe he (and I) have really thought about these things, and are not thinking "I know it's a human, but that doesn't fit my agenda so I wont say it."?

Maybe? Honest question.
