It seems that these theological concepts imago Dei and natural law cannot be dissonant members, but each reflect back on each other in some way. While some men have come to the point where they could consciously allow a partial birth abortion or even have a certain love for the unborn child they chose to abort, there is something, it seems, that makes man intrinsically dignified. Even the most derelict societies in the world have a concept of murder. The relationship between the image and the law

The moral theory that best describes the first version is “Deontology”. It is the most appropriate interpretation because deontology is non-consequentialist. Moral conduct follows duties or obligations. The moral principles are completely separated from any consequences. Consequences are not clearly thought out nor are the primary focus of the rules.
