Works for me---it's self-evident that a ruler attempting to usurp an individual's stewardship rights over his own body is not acting as God's servant and need not be obeyed.

And using the same pretext of natural law, I'd cite A.Lincoln, that no one has the right to do what is wrong.

That's why we have republican government, not government by tribunal.

How does Lincoln's claim derive from natural law?

What does that have to do with having (or not) the right to do wrong?
