Scripture does point to natural law and the precedence it has over man made law.

Recall the story of the people eating the "bread of presence" because they were starving.

This points to the fact that the natural law of self-preservation, or care over lives supersedes liturgical law.

And Jesus Himself references this when He defends his disciples from "working on the Sabbath" (picking grain out of field). 

Defending life is lawful, even with arms, as a last resort.  

Waxing satirical may win a few atta girls but it keeps one from seeing a deeper truth in Church teaching.
