"When the law is wrong"

Read this at Wittenburg Gate:

Right now the law says a disabled woman can be ordered by a court to be starved and dehydrated until she dies. The law says that even if she is able to take oral sustenance, it is illegal to give it to her. The law says a mother, a father, a sister, and a brother, as they sit beside their dying loved one, cannot offer her relief. This is the law now, and many people say we should obey the law because, well, it's the law.

But the law in this case is wrong.

Dory listed other times in our history the law has been wrong: slavery, fugitive slave laws, segregation, child labor.

Unfortunately, she didn't list abortion. The law says that it's OK to kill a child in the womb if it's unwanted, imperfect, or just inconvenient.

The law is wrong.

And that immoral law, which led to the slaughter of more than 30,000,000 of our children, has led directly to this new ruling: that it's lawful to starve a disabled woman to death.

The law is wrong.
