  • 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

I see a lot of elephant icons around here. So...you want a government just small enough to fit inside my uterus? Is this it?


It is for you to decide. Government should stay out of this issue, and deal with finances and budget, and not morals. Morals are for people to decide not government.

I am Pro-Life, but I am aware that other people have a different opinion on this issue, so I don't want the government making one decision for everyone, and enforcing everyone to be Pro-Life. These decisions are not for the government to decide. It is for the individual to decide if abortion is ok or not. Also if a baby was threating my life, and I needed to save my life by having an abortion I would need to get an abortion even though I don't agree with abortion. I personally wouldn't have an abortion just for any old reason, but if people have a different set of ideas or ethics on this issue I want to leave that for them to decide when life begins. Since most people cannot come to an agreement on this issue as to when life begins the government shouldn't force everyone to believe only one certain way one way or another.

Let me start with your last sentence and work my way back to your first.

It doesn't matter if most people can come to an agreement as to when life begins. Science as already determined that life begins at conception, and not just any life, but a human being starts at conception. And it is wrong to kill an innocent human being.

And since the unborn are human beings at conception, and since the government is responsible to protect all human life then the government should step in and protect the unborn from being killed.

I do agree with you on one point you made. If the unborn threatens the life of the mother then abortion is the only answer. It's better to save one life then to lose two.
