An unjust law is no law at all. Or for those with a bit of Latin, Lexen Eusta, Lexona est.

That little phrase, as far as we can tell, first formulated somewhat differently by St. Augustine

For women of reproductive age, if prescribed by health care providers.

Although churches and other houses of worship could receive an exemption on religious freedom grounds,

no exceptions were provided for Christian hospitals, Christian charities, Christian colleges,

or universities, or other religious organizations that opposed it.
