By Micaiah Bilger, LifeNews - Last week, (The Trump administration) insisted on removing ambiguous abortion references in a United Nations Security Council resolution about supporting women in crisis and conflict, according to C-Fam. The pro-life organization described the move as a “victory” for human rights… “It is a victory for the Trump administration, which has been pushing to eliminate the phrase ‘sexual and reproductive health’ from UN documents,” the pro-life organization stated. “It is a blow to Europeans who insist that abortion be funded as humanitarian aid.”

In human affairs, something is said to be just insofar as it is right according to the rule of reason. The first rule of reason is, however, natural law. Thus every human law has the nature of a law insofar as it is derived from natural law. If it conflicts with natural law in any way, then it is not law but a corruption of law.
