Natural Law and Life

Natural Law What is Law?
Natural Law is a broad and often misapplied term tossed around various schools of philosophy, science, history, theology, and law. Indeed, Immanuel Kant reminded us, 'What is law?' may be said to be about as embarrassing to the jurist as the well-know question What is Truth? is to the logician.

Law, in its generic sense, is a body of rules of action or conduct prescribed by controlling authority, and having binding legal force. That which must be obeyed and followed by citizens subject to sanctions or legal consequences is a law (Blacks Law Dictionary, Sixth Edition, p. 884).
Jurisprudence is the philosophy of law and how the law developed.

Natural Law is a moral theory of jurisprudence, which maintains that law should be based on morality and ethics. Natural Law holds that the law is based on whats correct. Natural Law is discovered by humans through the use of reason and choosing between good and evil. Therefore, Natural Law finds its power in discovering certain universal standards in morality and ethics.

Natural Law and Life. Randall Niles views the Moral Law applicable to all of us, including murder, theft, lying, and cheating. In the case of homicide ("the unjustified killing of another human being"), we all agree that it's wrong, we just disagree on the definitions, such as "justification" and "human being."

This video examines the different treatment of fetal homicide across Constitutional Law, Criminal Law, and Civil Law throughout the United States. Why the different definitions in Roe v Wade, the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, and various Wrongful Death Acts in certain states?

@arzeisel14 A more important question would be,not is it a human being,but is it a person?

[ryan84160]

I think Jeremy Bentham said it best when he said that natural law is nonsense upon stilts. The fact is we don't all agree that killing is wrong.

Great video...it's amazing that all of these answers are right in front of us. I am a NL proponent and am learning about the deception that many people are in. One of the areas that is killing more americans is this true for u may not be true for me. Well laws have no care 4 what u like or not and we have epidemics in the std, degenerative disease and etc. from ignoring natural law with this "feel law" stuff. Thanks for the great job.

@Cyrilshark you guys just don't get it do you??. how arrogant are you??? this is not a popularity contest. women have been having abortions before you guys invented the devil. as the population increases abortion will become the number one means for birth control. just wait and see.

"You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of the netherworld shall not prevail against it." (Mt. 16: 13-20)

I know, for a fact, that abortion will not always be legal, as you say. Abortions are the work of the devil, and he will not win. We will not let it go because we stand up for what we believe. It is not a lost cause. The pro-life movement is only getting bigger, more and more teens are flooding in to defend life, as I do. God bless!

@jackrabitcafe

[jackrabitcafe]

@arzeisel14  a fetus is not a child.

@jackrabitcafe

If you would like to take this conversation private I am more than happy to do that. You know how to reach me via my youtube account.

I will end here with this question, why are you proud of killing four of your own children?
