  • 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

There are people that believe that life begins at conception. Some people say if you die after conception then you will go to Heaven. One person did the math and figured if you counted all the abortions and the people that died as children it would add up to 18 billion people. There is also a question of viable and the ability to live outside of the womb.
I remember reading that two-thirds of pregnancies spontaneously abort, often before the woman even knows she's pregnant. Limbo's going to be pretty full of zygotes.

For me, life begins at conception, however that is a purely emotional opinion and has nothing to do with religion/spirituality, etc. I just genuinely feel that life begins at conception. That means that in most circumstances for me abortion would not be an option, that does not however mean that I would take that choice away from another woman/family. It also does not go to say that science agrees with me, because it doesn't. This is something that has caused my fiance and I a lot of discord lately, unfortunately.
