Should we repeal the 19th Amendment?

Frankly, I think we need to reconsider the 19th Amendment.

The first big thing women did with the vote was impose national prohibition.

The next was and continues to be to militate vigorously for the right of women everywhere to kill their unwanted children.

The seven year riders, by the way, on some proposed and some ratified constitutional amendments are themselves unconstitutional (see Article 5 of the US Constitution, which alone controls the process of amendment).

But they are firmly in the tradition of the US Constitution itself which, in its last article and before its own adoption, proposed its own unconstitutional method of ratification (see Article 13 of the Articles of Confederation, then in force).

OK, I'm kidding. 

Maybe.
