Yeah, well this is the same reason why 1.2 million babies are aborted each year-----"THE LAW."
While you are technically correct, won't argue that, it doesn't make it right morally.
You over simplify with your statement "then change THE LAW." There is an unwritten law which this country was founded upon with it's Judeo-Christian roots. The NATURAL LAW (which cannot be changed).
What is happening with abortion, and now the opened gates of euthenasia (sp) even before the Schiavo case, is LEGALIZED murder via "THE LAW." The courts have forgotten the NATURAL LAW.
Fr. Pavone is correct.
No, the courts have not forgotten the natural law, or whatever it is you describe. The law may be based on religious doctrine, but the Code of Florida trumps everything else (save federal statutes and the US Constitution that preempt Florida law) including the Bible. Natural law, whatever that may be, does not take precedence over Florida Law. That is law school 101, my friend.
