If she had not hated > him, she would not have gone public with information that would shame, > humiliate,disgrace and remove him from office. > Furthermore, the whole feminist doctrine that women have the right to > kill their offspring is an abomination to God. The commandment in > Exodus 20:13 of "thou shalt not kill" applies to all equally. God is > truly not a respecter of persons. He does not write one set of rules for > women and another one for men. His commandments apply to all, and all > are judged equally before His throne on judgement day.

Killing is wrong, and is always wrong, and no man-made law > will ever change that, because God decreed it. No act of Congress, or > our state will ever change God's laws. We all have a duty before God to > teach righteousness. I know that from this verse, "whosoever shall > offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it would be better > that a millstone were tied about his neck and he were drowned in the > depth of the sea". (Matthew 18 , all verses King James Holy Bible). If > you allow the teaching of wickedness to the "little ones" then you see > what God has said you should wish for. It is a duty to teach > righteousness here and everywhere. I do not wish for my daughter or any > body's offspring to be taught wickedness, or to be told wrongly that > they have the right to kill. That teaching will land them in jail, or > dead, if they act on it. Galatians says "be not deceived. God is not > mocked. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

Life is sacred, and God > keeps score of every innocent child sacrificed. If you doubt it, read > Psalms 106:36-42 in King James Bible and see what God says happens to > the people who shed innocent blood. I pray for you to repent of the > false teaching and turn back to God and implement His truth in all > classes at the University. The Bible says "the fear of the Lord is the > beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding." > Proverbs 9:10. Teach students that and you will have done something > great.
