Natural law is deduced from observation of nature, therefore it is not objective as those observations and deductions are themselves subjective.
By that logic science isn't objective either.
And funnily, that's the opposite to what Thump said: he said that Science was unique and more objective than math and logic (unless you think that they're subjective as well? In which case I'm left wondering why you believe in anything for any sort of rational reason and why you aren't a solipsist who believes in nothing but your own subjective existence).
I see flaws with both the view that only empiricism and only rationalism is objective ... as both a posteriori and a priori are two ways of getting at the objective truth of the matter.
