Santorum Says He Agrees With MLK on Moral Basis for Human Rights; Can’t Understand Why Obama Would Deny Them to an Unborn Child

(CNSNews.com) - Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R.-Pa.) said in a recent interview with CNSNews.com that he agrees with the argument that the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., made in his 1963 Letter from Birmingham Jail that a just law is a manmade law that comports with the natural law or the law of God, and that he finds it “almost remarkable” that a black man like President Barack Obama would want to deny legal recognition for the human rights of an unborn child.

Santorum’s remarks came in a one-hour and forty-minute interview in the context of a discussion about the advocacy of natural law by the first-century-B.C. Roman senator Cicero, the Founding Fathers’ belief in a God-given natural law—which Santorum said he shared—and the natural law's application to contemporary policy issues.
