  • 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.

Can people who disagree on abortion stop attacking each other?

They give consent when they have sex. And if they claim not to give consent to their own body-because the egg released is their own body- then they can choose not to have sex. You don't ask your own body for consent, you control it with your brain. The same way you control what you eat and how you drive. So they should try using their brains and not get pregnant in the first place.

A sperm or an ovum are not a human because a human is an organism and neither sperm nor ovum are an organism.

Any time you act out a behaviour it elicits a possible outcome, either positive or negative.

I was under the impression that the breath of life is required for all human beings to live a live independent of their mother's womb

This does nothing to explain your position. Are you able to articulate why you believe my response to be illogical?

Again, irrelevant to consent. Consent is the act of giving permission. Simply engaging in an act that has a possible outcome is not the same as giving permission. Do you disagree with this point?

No. Consent is giving permission. That takes a conscious act. If they were giving consent there would not be not be an issue with the resultant pregnancy. Since there is an issue it is an indication no consent was given. You can't simply claim "consent" by fiat.

Go and behave in the way I suggested and you'll find out...nothing more sobering than reality.

I disagree. We consent whenever we put a thought into action, regardless if we weigh the possible outcome of our action. Decide to have sex=can't be bothered to use contraception (pleasure comes first)=get pregnant=it was an "accident" so I'll just have an abortion. Does that sound logical to you?

So your claim is that anytime we perform an action we "consent" to any possible outcome from that action? This is your understanding of consent?

In the general meaning of consent, which is permission, yes. "consent" by your definition is a legal term. Do people sign contracts before they have sex? I would think not.
