  • 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

If you go to thesaurus.com you’ll find that the very first synonym listed for “uniform” is “consistent”. If you continue down to the antonyms for “uniform” you will find “inconsistent”.

So instead of “No doubt, there is no uniformity in driving age laws”, we could easily and correctly say, “No doubt, there is no consistency in driving age laws.”
Nothing like having to go to the thesarus in a failed effort to prove that you are right. Again, the consistency lies in the fact that the laws were adopted under the 10th Amendment.

Again, get back on topic. We are discussing quickening, not driving age.

Well apparently I need to show you definitions for you to understand. Though, it seems like even providing definitions isn’t enough for you to concede the point.

But I’m sure everyone tracking can understand that there is an inconsistency in driving age across the country. And by inconsistency, I mean they aren’t uniform, just like you said. So thank you for finally conceding the point.

They are consistant. They are all adopted pursuant to the 10th Amendment. They are not uniform. I was the one who originally said that.

Because you have taken thus thread off topic and have refused to return to the topic I have requested that the mods close the thread.

All I’ve done is respond to you. You apparently are so caught up in being right that you’ll argue that I’m wrong while proving I’m right by using a synonym instead of the word I chose.

But the entire point all along was that it is analogous to how the moral worth of the fetus is inconsistent.

In one situation the fetus is considered morally worthless (abortion), while in another circumstance (homicide) the fetus is considered to possess the same moral worth and value as a human that has been born.

The way the law treats the moral worth and value of the fetus is inconsistent.
