I assume since he quoted it - he agrees:
"Aquinas, then, realized that men always act purposively, but also went beyond this to argue that ends can also be apprehended by reason as either objectively good or bad for man."
Rothbrad also states:
"....natural law is ethical as well as physical law; and the instrument by which man apprehends such law is his reason... "
So let's use reason to see if allowing children to die is "good or bad for man". Would allowing a generation of women to abort their children (allowing your children to die is the same thing) be good for man? The obvious answer is "no".
Which means it goes against the nature of man and, therefore, cannot be a natural right.
