  • 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.

What I said was: "born persons are independent life forms. Embryos are entirely dependent on another person's body for every function of life."

Newborns ARE independent life forms, as they are not entirely dependent on another person's body for every function of life.

-- A2SG, still going out of the way to miss the point there.....
That’s not good biology. For instance, do the inform have their own circulatory system? Or are they dependent on another life form?

It was the Christians saying that.

On the other hand, you can freeze an embryo for 20 years, but you can't do that with a human being.
Were the Christians wrong?

Armed guards to stop coercion (ie. the woman didn't make that choice freely but was pressured by parents, husband, boyfriend, or the like to do so) in schools! That is what you said. Absurd! Abortions will decrease if we put armed guards in schools!

You had no idea what Paidiske was talking about since you never bothered to read her posts.

Now you are just trying to deflect.

The rest of your post has nothing to do with the topic.

You missed the point. What I said implied no planned parenthood will be allowed access to the school or it's curriculim. Thats the first place to start. And no more drag queens story hour or anything of the sort.

So they have to be born before they can be considered a person? So what are they until then? Feces to be pooped out? Can a turd become a person if you leave it alone? Can an embryo become a person if you leave it alone?

It's already a person at the moment of conception. You my friend are dead wrong. Fact is your prolly either a abortion doctor and need the work, or someone who would use the position that you postulate as a cover for your most favorite sins. Sexual sins so hey let's use abortion as birth control. That's where you're at.

Another failed deflection. Planned Parenthood was never mentioned once in this thread.

Drag Queens have nothing to do with the topic. Your posts demonstrate deflection and off topic ramblings.

I feel that they become a person TRULY worth protecting once they would be viable outside the womb.

By truly worth protecting I mean that at that point is the minimum when it should be a chargeable offense or outright illegal to cause their death. In situations where it would be on the fence say a woman is between 15-24 months among then abortion should be illegal, but whether otherwise causing the child's death is chargeable should be either up to the DA or a case by case basis If the woman has entered her 3rd trimester then barring a situation where it is determined the child would not be viable I would be OK with it being treated like causing the death of anyone else charge wise because at that point then would be a decently good chance that the baby would have lived but for the act.

Did I misunderstand you? What are you saying? That a baby less than 15 months old can be aborted by the mother? At 15 months old it becomes a chargeable offense?

Sorry Jim-Bob, I changed my mind? That's weird to me.

Legally, yes. Of course, that can be changed in the laws. There have been attempts to pass personhood amendments in various states to define personhood as starting at conception, but they haven't been successful... yet.

No if she is less than 15 weeks along being that she is in the beginning/middle of her second trimester of being pregnant. A fifteen month old baby is a person just like an adult is.

You are funny. Your post indictes that you havent really thought this through very well.

To stop coercion by anyone the first step is education and awareness. Educate the children. Educate the parents to the truth and they can learn responsibility and consequences. If you can't get that, then you havent thought this through for yourself.

Still deflecting. It was explained to you that you misunderstood another poster's coercion comment, and you have doubled down now tripled down on issue.

I understand that armed guards in schools have nothing to do with stopping abortions. Please get back on topic.

What about science ........ I mean science is supposed to be absolute and true correct?
So science says there is no baby until the baby is born?

Doesn't the law state, if you kill a pregnant mother you are guilty of two murders?
In some states a murder of a pregnant woman may result in charges for two murders but that often depends on the specific circumstances.

Science states the unborn is an embryo or fetus and makes no comment I’m personhood as deemed by a government. Until a government assigns legal status to a fetus, which would require some sort of documentation filed by the parents on behalf of the unborn, an in utero baby is not a person until born.

Wouldn’t that be tantamount to kidnapping or illegal imprisonment?
Where are the prolife lawyers suing to end these barbarities!?
