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.

Democrats seek to repeal Comstock abortion rule, fearing Trump crackdown
The Comstock Act, an 1873 law that bans abortion-related materials from being sent through the mail, could be used by the GOP to restrict abortion nationwide.Democrats are seeking to overhaul an 1873 federal law that bans abortion-related materials from being sent through the mail, worried that a future Trump administration could invoke the Comstock Act to crack down on abortion access or effectively ban the procedure altogether.
“There is a very clear, well-organized plan afoot by the MAGA Republicans to use Comstock as a tool to ban medication abortion, and potentially all abortions,” said Sen. Tina Smith (D-Minn.), who on Thursday plans to introduce legislation to repeal the Comstock Act’s abortion provisions. “My job is to take that tool away.”
Supreme Court Justices Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Clarence Thomas drew further attention to Comstock this year, stressing the importance of the law during oral arguments in a challenge to mifepristone, a key abortion drug.
“It’s not some obscure subsection of a complicated obscure law,” Alito said in oral arguments in March, referring to Comstock as a “prominent provision.”
Asked about the Comstock Act in an April interview by Time magazine, Trump said it was a “very important issue” and promised to issue a “big statement” within the next two weeks.
Trump has yet to issue that statement on Comstock, and his campaign declined to comment about where he stands on the law.
