Wait a minute...

Doesn't the principle hold that if your "ox is in the ditch"
on the Sabbath you can haul him out ?

I am a Christian ( did I pick this up from Christianity ?)

It would seem if this principle is correct that animal (and
surely human) life takes precedent over the Law then in
emergency situations observant Jews could use the phone,
car, etc.

Please let's hear from some Orthodox thinkers on this.
