? You probably make a good point. My point is very general. Very. And it certainly allows for divine intervention along with fall from grace as a nation if we don’t just stop the sanctioning of abortion but also allows for not being a theocracy. We don’t want us Catholics taking over any more than any other denomination. Spreading the good Word is still an individual calling
Natural law comes from God as He is tge creator.
In any case, mothers killing their own babies is just wrong and for us as a nation to sanction it goes against natural law. It causes a lot of trouble That can be said without forcing religion into anyone
I think we mostly agree.
The thing we’re sometimes calling natural law is the witness of the Lord’s will that manages to percolate even unto the souls of the lost. Its exact nature will vary from place to place and person to person. People even now are aware of some of it even when they are not aware of all. Of course we know that God loves the babies very much indeed — to the point of His Son sacrificing Himself for them. But even a dim apprehension of this may be enough to move people to do almost anything to save a baby.
Anyhow I think we’re seeing a movement in the spiritual world in this direction, and that’s a herald of good news. When a large pocket of the elect is about to show up, this kind of thing will tend to happen. We have problems bigger than abortion here. Merely refraining from abortion wouldn’t in itself carry anybody to heaven. A full on acceptance of divine salvation is needed for that.
I tend to be symbolic minded, and in that vein I might notice that a society that loves its babies more will also be more likely to understand the principle that God loves them enough to make an earnest effort to save them. The two things share one principle.
