Default Re: What I do not understand about the conservative ideology

I understand the concept of punishing the guilty, but why do they take it into their own hands, and with such vengeful means? Why don't they advance their position on abortion through lawful means? Don't they accept that law enforcement is the job of the police, and lawmaking the job of congress? Bombing an abortion clinic may punish the people who in their eyes are guilty, but it certainly does not protect the innocent, as the unborrn fetuses are aborted either way; in fact, it KILLS innocent people like secretaries, technicians, and administrators. It's comparable to the Iraqi insurgency murdering an Iraqi who happened to collect the trash on a US military base. The logic is so totally flawed that it seems inconceivable for sane human beings to adhere to it. These people demand that the government exert authority over the entire county and disallow abortions completely, regardless of the personal opinions of anyone, yet because of their own personal opinions they refuse to defer to the government's authority in law enforcement and even its constitutional power to legislate what is right and wrong. This is completely hypocritical.
