  • 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.

In the 1980 presidential election, Ronald Reagan defeated President Jimmy Carter in a landslide victory, amassing 489 electoral votes to become America’s 40th president.

In the decade of the ’80s, Reagan was truly America’s president. It might be said that he personified the conscience of the country he was chosen to lead. Three years into his first term, he wrote Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation, in which he stated his firm commitment to the sanctity of life. That included those human beings residing in their mothers’ wombs.
