Unjust Laws

A person I respect a great deal questioned Linda Gibbons confrontation with the law over the abortion issue. She said that we have a responsibility to obey the law. I know she has a great deal of respect for the law but what if the law is wrong? The people of Germany obeyed the law but the law was sinful.

Isaiah said:

Woe to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees,

to deprive the poor of their rights
and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people,
making widows their prey
and robbing the fatherless. Isaiah 10:1, 2
