  • 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.

Pro-abortion protesting behavior...

I heard a priest talk of such people urinating on pro-life protesters and barbequeing fetuses. Any thoughts or comments?
I'd like to see a link to a credible news story that states this.

"I hear this guy say..." does not count as credible.

I don't think there's really a such thing as pro-abortion protesters.
What he means is pro-choice advocates. Pro-choice demonstrations usually happen outside of government buildings and as counter-demonstrations at pro-life demonstrations.

I can believe it, although a source would be nice. I have heard and watch videos of pro-abortion (choicers) jumping pro-lifers and physically attacking them. I have seen a great amount of pure hate pour from their camp.

As for the pro-abortionist whom like to say "they are not for abortion" it is impossable to want to keep abortion legal every time all the time even up to the last few second of birth and be able to say that your not pro-abortion. It is impossable to say you are against laws showing the child moving inside the mother in the hopes it may change her mind and then say your not pro-abortion. It is impossable to say your ok with underage children having abortions with out their parents consent or even knowledge and that your ok with abortion clinic's hiding the crime of rape from the government (Hiding such information is a federal crime itself and can result in jail time for the doctor hiding the crime... see child abuse laws) and say your not pro-abortion. It is impossable to say your against abstinance being taught in the schools and say your not pro-abortion. The title Pro-Choice is a cover up 9 out of 10 times.

If pro-life people can be called "anti-choice" by the other side then use of the label "pro-abortion" is entirely fair, even if it is not totally factually descriptive.

I belive is much more pro-abortion to keep the youth from knowing how to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies(often ending in abortions) or std due to fundamentalism and bigotry. This is just a proof that what you want is to control people's sexual choiches rather than "to save children".
They taught us how to use condoms properly and how other birth control works in my sex ed class and it was all done really well...guess what? there has never been pregnant girl in that school for the 4 years i've been there and i've never heard of one ever.

[FONT=verdana, geneva, helvetica] If men strive, and hurt a women with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follow: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman's husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life (Ex.21:22-23).
Seems clear to me eh

So it's okay to label someone who is pro-choice as "pro-abortion" even though you're aware of the fact that it's not entirely accurate, just counter being called anti-choice?

I'm not going argue about labels, but I have pointed before that being pro-choice means a variety things, not just about believing that abortion should be legal.

But here is the thing the second they tell kids how to have sex the promply go out and seek the experience. Many will forget about the "protection", which is only effective again certain things, and the result is pregnant children. It has gotten so bad now that 6th graders are having sex.

Try this little experiment compaire time line poll of students saying they have had sex to a time line poll of when sex education is given to the children. You will find that this idea that all sex education does is encourage sexual activity pans out nicely.

The deathscorts at the clinic where I demonstrate are pretty pro-abortion. When abortion bound women try to walk over to us to see what we have to say, the deathscorts physically block them and tell them to go back into the clinic and not to talk to us. These "clinic volunteers" are there to protest our actviities and they are pro abortion so it is safe to call them pro-abortion protestors.

This has all the elements of a FOAF story. Somebody e-mail Jan Howard Brunvand.

Never heard it before but I've heard of an independent Baptist minister claiming Estee Lauder uses aborted fetii to make perfume.

Try snopes or something.

By the time they get sex ed (14) kids obviously already know HOW to have sex...it's not an hard practice after all...it's not like your explaining them where to put what for the first time...the moments mach because sex ed is obvioustly given in the years when teens usually start to be sexually active and if it's true they forget about protection...at least they did it for their own stupidity, not because nobody told them about it.
With sex ed you're not giving a moral statement such as "go do the first person you see, now!" you're giving people information about the options they have if they do decide to have sex.
Teaching abstinence is a moral statement and indoctrination, it has more to do with wanting to control people's sexual choices than with the results (none, by the way).
What's there to teach about abstinence anyways? there are no informations to give: people can figure out by themselves how to not have sex, as they can figure out how to not ride a bike, they don't need someone to teach the ability of not engaging in an action.

If you want facts, statistics say it all
-America is the only western country with abstinence programs.
-America has double the adolescent pregnancy of any other western country.

I question the veracity of this statement. I'm not saying that you're lying, but I think you probably misunderstood what you saw.

Completely and utterly untrue. I learned what sex was at the age of 6, and I ended up having sex at a relatively late age.

Many will forget about the "protection", which is only effective again certain things,

"Certain things" = pregnancy and the vast majority of STDs. I don't know where you're getting your information, but you're clearly misinformed.

How exactly should I understand the deathscorts outstreching their arms and telling the young lady walking over to us to not talk to us and to go back into the clinic?
