Denying that there is such a thing as natural law doesn't mean that anything goes, or that anything is right. In fact, your entire example shows why there is no such thing as natural law, given how the people who wrote so many "natural laws" seemed to ignore it.
Morality and compassion do not depend on the law being "natural."
