  • 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

To Quirk,
Obviously not.
Well I obviously am as can be seen by many people having sex and conceiving.


And believing the libido is something that can be or should be controlled by a fear of conceiving is not very fair. You can consent to sex, you don't consent to pregnancy in all cases.
Who said anything about fear. Fear comes from the desire for sex without any consequences, if one knows the purpose of sex and the consequences there is no fear.

God has given us the gift of sex within a faithful marriage to conceive and reproduce. Your idea, which mirrors what many in the world think, seems to treat sex as primarily a right to be practiced for pleasure. I am showing you it obviously isn’t from the consequences.

By contrast, is it nessecarily fair to force motherhood upon someone who is unwilling?

well, engaging in sex that consequentially and naturally brings about conception (even with contraception accepting that none are 100% effective) fits the definition of 'fair' - free from bias. So I think that pregnancy is a fair, unbiased, consequence - it can happen to any woman having sex. Motherhood may be different, the child may be placed for adoption if they really are unwilling.

Now, will you answer whether or not you think my scenario's fit the definition of 'fair'?

I will no longer say i am for or agaist abortion because of what i went through.
See, I went through an "unwanted" pregnancy. And I'm MORE pro life now than I ever have been. Why? Because I debated an abortion, and considering how easy it would be and I chose not to have one..and then I witnessed the life that came from it. I heard him cry the minute he was born and was in awe, that anyone couldnt see that his life was one worth saving. And his adoptive parents agreed highly with me, his- along with every other child conceived, is a child who deserves life and love.
