Natural Law is the law that is over and above any set of man made laws that gives us a standard to measure right and wrong against. In other words, it is what we use to judge right from wrong. When Thomas Jefferson wrote about “the laws of nature and of nature’s God,” in the Declaration of Independence, he was citing Natural Law. The left denies the existence of Natural Law which is how they can justify abortion among the other atrocities they are committed to, and in my opinion, this is the core of the political and cultural divide in our country today.

Justice Clarence Thomas talked about Natural Law during his confirmation hearings, and the Democrats tried to say this was a reason that he should not be confirmed. C S Lewis explains Natural Law beautifully in Mere Christianity, among other writings.

Here is the part of John Galt’s speech that made the connection for me:

”So long as men, in the era of savagery, had no concept of objective reality and believed that physical nature was ruled by the whim of unknowable demons – no thought, no science, no production were possible. Only when men discovered that nature was a firm, predictable absolute were they able to rely on their knowledge, to choose their course, to plan their future, and slowly, to rise from the cave…”

Natural Law exists whether we acknowledge it or not. You can deny the law of gravity, but you can’t make it stop holding you to the earth. The left can deny the existence of Natural Law, but it doesn’t stop affecting them which is why they will ultimately fail.
