Sounds like the people who ran the Underground Railroad would have had significant thinking to do, by your logic. They probably should have gone home and abided by the law of the land, like the fugitive slave acts and Dred Scott v. Sandford.
To say nothing people living in Iran and China today.
- pfisherman 4y agoI am pretty sure the people who ran the Underground Railroad thought very long and hard about what they were doing. I think a much stronger / more contemporary argument for you would be something like facilitating access to abortion for people residing in states where it is now illegal. But a few questions here. Is something like this an exception rather than the rule? Do you think the FBI would burn a zero day to prosecute someone for this?
