On the latest installment of his “Foundations of Freedom” series, David Barton echoed the claim put forth by former Rep. Michele Bachmann in an earlier episode when she stated that America can never enact laws that legalize things like abortion or gay marriage because they contradict the moral law established by God.
In the latest episode, Barton and his co-host Rick Green asserted that both homosexuality and abortion violate the “laws of nature,” which Barton once again laughably claimed was directly incorporated into the Constitution through the Seventh Amendment. As such, Barton proclaimed, the Constitution explicitly prohibits the government or the people from ever enacting any law that violates God’s “fixed moral law.”
“You can’t have a majority vote on whether we’re going to have liberty or whether we’re going to have a right to defend yourself,” Barton said. “You can’t vote on inalienable rights that come from God. You also can’t vote on whether abortion is right or wrong or whether homosexuality is right or wrong; that’s a fixed moral law.”
