If your baby is starving than it's right to steal food.If there is no other way of obtaining it.
I don't believe in moral absolutes.The law of the universe says "feed your offspring or it will die."

Which "laws of the Universe" cover theft and murder? These are societal principles invented by human beings, not inherent properties of our reality.
