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

One in 700 authors and publishing agents signed an open letter to Penguin Random House

demanding that the publisher cancel a book deal with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney

Barrett. The signatories dramatically claim that the book would be a violation of international

human rights because of how Justice Barrett voted in the Dobbs case. While Random House

officials say they still plan to publish the book, but it's notable that the open letter

didn't appeal to morality, biology, even political philosophy. Instead, the signers

appealed to popular opinion, quote, international human rights organizations widely recognize

abortion access as a fundamental human right, they wrote. It's an irrational argument, some

international human rights organizations do not recognize abortion as a fundamental human

right, and even if every institution in the world did, they could still be wrong. Abortion

supporters should be wary of appealing to mob opinion, after all, if the pro-life movement

continues to be successful in changing hearts and minds, popular opinion could soon change.

Question is, what's right? But the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the Point.
