Arizona's Old/New Abortion Ban

vox.com
The history of Arizona’s Civil War-era abortion ban "The Republican-controlled Arizona House has repeatedly refused to take up a measure to repeal a Civil War-era state law that amounts to a near-total ban on abortion following an Arizona Supreme Court ruling earlier this month that the law can be enforced.

The state's near-total ban, which predates Arizona's statehood, permits abortions only for saving the woman's life and provides no exceptions for rape or incest"

Is this really what we want to do. Go dig through every piece of legislation for the past 160 years nitpicking till we come across something we can hang on somebody. Do you have any idea how many tens of thousands of laws exist that we never undone? We make laws but seldom if ever eliminate them no matter how stupid they sound now.

Can you imagine..

Yes we keep on creating new laws without ever considering how many of these pile up over time. Thus making almost everything unlawful if legal beagles are able to dig one up against someone for just about any reason. Arizona must be proud of itself coming up with this historically ancient piece of crap. Shame on them!.
