  • 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

You are still using failed emotional arguments. Fetuses have heartbeats too. That is enough to refute your claim.
But you never said it was a foetus. You said it was....

And fetes is just another name for baby.

If that is the case, why don't you use some rational arguments. So far all you have given us is mumbo jumbo.
I have been. An inability to understand basic English on your part does not make posts "mumbo jumbo".

By definition a baby refers to a human organism after birth. Not before. There is no mumbo jumbo there.

Thankyou for your opinion. And yes words do have meaning and fetus is Greek for baby.

And if you dislike abortions don't have one is so pathetic it is risible.

Its not "my opinion", its true by definition.

The adult thing would be to acknowledge your error, but that is optimistic, I know.

Nope, it is not another name for baby. That is your error.

Legally and biologically a baby is always after birth. A fetus is before birth. That should not be a difficult concept to understand.

You might as well say that "15 years old is another name for 16 years old".

By definition for those who are not afraid of the truth a baby refers to that which is conceived in the womb when a sperm and ovum join together. But only by those who are not afraid of the truth.

Doubling down when shown to be in error is just lying.

I don't think that is going to happen. What is amazing is that she hurts her own arguments by refusing to argue rationally. There are rational arguments against abortion, but it appears that she does not believe them.

Nope, repeating an error does not make it true. Legally and biologically a baby is after birth. This is why you lose.
Lose? I didn't know I was trying to win anything. That is an immature concept.

As for repeating an error does not make it true. You are behind the eight ball on that one because the media is full of errors that are posted as true when it is patently obvious that it is not.

Nope, the word is of Latin origin. And even if that was the case, so what? (It actually is not). The meaning of words change over time. "Homely" used to be a compliment. Now it is an insult. The meaning of words changes over times. Today a fetus is before birth, a baby is after birth. Both legally and biologically.

As I said I gave away fairy stories a long time ago.

What has ironing got to do with your fairy stories?
Using the phrase "fairy stories" is also against the rules here. I would get into trouble if I referred to the Adam and Eve story as "fairy stories" even though we know that the Garden of Eden story never happened as in the Bible.

That is a good one. The word is of latin origin but actually it is not. Bit like me saying I am an Australian because I was born in Australia but I am not.

As we can see. I am honestly trying to help her to argue more effectively. I have not actually argued for or against abortion. I have only noted her errors.
What other jokes do you tell?
