Damon Linker Declares Natural Law A Fraud (Updated)

Again can people recall when the New Republic was interesting to read. Why they have Damon Linker on the staff who wrote a book on this subject that got panned by a huge array of people is beyond me.

Any thought that starts out with "Right-wing Catholic intellectuals like to claim that the Vatican's absolute opposition to abortion (and homosexuality, and contraception) is grounded in something called "natural law," a body of moral principles that are accessible to all human beings through both reason and conscience" really should not be paid attention too.

Hunter Baker has a post on this at Has Damon Linker Dethroned Natural Law?
