One's personal beliefs do not alter the form or state of one's being, so rather or not one subscribes to the Natural Law premis is irrelivent. You are what you are and have every right as the next person. |
OK, but no one abides by natural laws, we abide by written laws that reflect the needs of society. Even the founders saw fit to lay on paper the laws by which the new nation was to be governed. They did not say: "OK, we are independent, lets just abide by the natural laws, because they are the best."
After all natural laws include the survival of the fittest at the expense of the weak. Clearly not something the founding fathers wanted to establish.
