Problem is, our time-honored laws and legal traditions come from Old Mother England, many of them from Old Catholic England. Our legal system could not have developed as it did if secularism had been the operative principle all along. Secularism promises personal liberation, but it delivers social dissolution. IMO we need to look critically at that momentum toward dissolution, and we need to ask what must have been different about the “old times.”

What little I know factually about the founding principles i do know that secularism was not the prevailing force

When people say things have changed I disagree.

We, in the contemporary western world, do not get to take 5,000 years of human history, with rules and regs from God Himself on health, happiness and the path to eternal life, which encompasses family and gender norms, and throw it out in favor of a secular, Godless, morally relative world which has gone so far as to promote parents killing their own offspring

A society that has gone that far afield can not be brought back with religious argument. And theocracy is not the answer.

I think it’s a matter of getting back TO the roots of our foundation, which include classical western views, which certainly recognize God as our Creator. When we get rid of accepted abortion with those nuances in mind we will have become more sophisticated
