With a one minute look at culture from a Christian worldview, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

Recently, the Arizona Supreme Court ruled that the state must abide by a 160 year old law that would

out almost abortions.

Pro-abortion voices were quick to condemn the law on the

grounds that the law is, well, old. The Associated Press, Vach, CNN, Vanity Fair,

Forbes Salon, and others all refer to the law which was triggered back into effect by the overturning of Roe v. Wade a

quote civil war era law. An a CLU policy analysis called it a century old zombie law and

according to a University of Arizona law professor the code reads as if you're going back to the barbaric Wild West.

End quote.

Sius Lewis called this sort of talk, chronological snobbery.

It's the idea that anything old is bad and anything is necessarily better.

Of course we'll never hear a pundance complain about the 13th amendment that outlawed slavery

because it's from the Civil War era or that freedom of the press should be dismissed

because it's even older.

No, what matters is that abortion is wrong and it always has been.
