Re:
This is the same rationale that the leftists use to justify the attacks by frustrated islamists on 9/11. Be careful whose rhetoric you choose. Think about it.

Many of us are frustrated but we must be emotionally mature enough not to slay innocent people; or we are no better than terrorists. Rudolph was certainly a terrorist; he saved no unborn babies; he simply murdered people he did not know, otherwise known as a serial killer.

There are basically three approaches on can take about another force acting on the first party:
(1) appease, conform to that of adversary
(2) confront, justify first party's position, work through struggle to prevail over adversary, while adversary tries to prevail over first party.
(3) national repentance

3Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
Psalm 127:3 (King James Version)

25"So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you. 26No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
27"I will send My fear before you, I will cause confusion among all the people to whom you come, and will make all your enemies turn their backs to you. 28And I will send hornets before you, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite from before you. 29I will not drive them out from before you in one year, lest the land become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. 30Little by little I will drive them out from before you, until you have increased, and you inherit the land. 31And I will set your bounds from the Red Sea to the sea, Philistia, and from the desert to the River.[b] For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you shall drive them out before you. 32You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods. 33They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against Me. For if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you."
Exodus 23 (King James Version)

10I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.
11As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
12Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
13Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
Hosea 9 (King James Version)


I only included the parts relevant to the point of "fruit of the womb". As far as I can determine, wanton destruction of unborn children (or children of any sort) is a definite no/no with God. There are several more points in Exodus 23 and Hosea 9 and where the United States is failing terribly, and I think the hand writing is on the wall as to what shall befall us-struggle, or stick our collective heads in the sand or whatever. The answer to the problem in not in killing our unborn children an importing "immigrants" to replace them.
14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (King James Version)

I don't think you understood my point, or perhaps you are evading it. We want abortion in this country to end. Killing off-duty policemen, nurses, receptionists, yes, even the doctors (God will deal with their judgment), setting off bombs, and killing a woman at the Olympics only engenders disgust in most people.

Again, using the leftist rationale of "frustration" to excuse terrorism is not what I consider a conservative value.

And please don't respond to me with Biblical chapter and verse. It does not clarify your position. I noticed you have just joined recently, perhaps you are not familiar with reasoned debate.
