Romans 12:19: “Revenge not yourselves, my dearly beloved; but give place unto wrath, for it is written: Revenge is mine, I will repay, saith the Lord.”

Punishment for breaking the law isn't revenge, it's enforcing justice. The way you toss it out here, why arrest murderers, rapists, extortionists, thieves, or anyone else ?

Revenge, on the other hand, includes revenge on those who refuse to protect the innocent by sluffing off their duty to seek to enact laws that protect the weak and defenseless since such folks are accessories to the crime.

In the case of abortion, both with "contraceptives" and invasive procedures, I think a good case can be made that God is doing a fine job of showing our once Christian nation just what the word revenge means.
