It USED to be that LIFE was a fundamental presumption of law, ridiculous to state othewise. Under Natural Law doctrine -- that is the Creator's Law -- life is a duty. We live for purpose, that purpose is the Creator's, our lifes are not our own in that regard.

With the 10 Commandments and similar proclamations officially extirpated from this country's civic life, there is nothing more to preach this. And so we will get more and more civil court end runs around the only Constitutional explicit protection for life which is in criminal cases. Nazi Germany redux, here we come.

"Under Natural Law doctrine -- that is the Creator's Law"

Remove the Creator from the conscience of the nation, and the entire body of law built upon the foundation of that which is God-given becomes nothing more than scrap through which to rummage to pick and choose that which is suitable for the need of the moment, but is no longer relevant apart from its connection with the Creator and author of all law and justice.
