An unborn baby in its mother's womb is a human being. That's a fact, not a judge's "whim." A law that regards an unborn baby as less than human is an unjust law, which is to say, no law at all.

Gosh. I hadn't ever thought of that before..... /sarc

Here in the real world, though, abortion is permitted because the whims of judges made it so. It is indeed an atrocity and should be stopped.

However, we should not fight the atrocity by demanding that judges exercise their whims in the opposite direction. When we replace "rule of law" with "whim of judge," the net results are almost guaranteed to be bad.

However, we should not fight the atrocity by demanding that judges exercise their whims in the opposite direction.

Why not? Should they stand on this alleged principle while babies die?

In fact, the existing laws are null since they contradict the natural law. The judges not only can, but must nullify these laws.
