-
Consequences cannot alter statutes, but may help to fix their meaning.
Benjamin Cardozo -
Burn all the statutes and their shelves: They stir us up against our kind; And worse, against ourselves.
William Wordsworth

Statutes that curtail her abortion choice are disturbingly suggestive of involuntary servitude, prohibited by the Thirteenth Amendment, in that forced pregnancy requires a woman to provide continuous physical service to the fetus in order to further the state's asserted interest.

This ridiculous nonsense that human laws are sacred and that if they are not respected and continued we cannot prosper, is the stupidest and most criminal nightmare of the age. Statutes are the last and greatest curse of man, and when destroyed the world will be free. The statute book is a book of laws by which one class of people can safely trespass upon another. Without this book one person would never dare to trespass upon the rights of another. Every statute law is always used to oppose some natural law.
Albert Parsons -
A statute is written to entrap meaning, a poem to escape it.
Hilary Mantel
