89 years ago today: Supreme Court defends women's voting rights

Share |

Feb 27, 1922:

In Washington, D.C., the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, providing for female suffrage, is unanimously declared constitutional by the eight members of the U.S. Supreme Court.

The 19th Amendment, which stated that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of sex," was the product of over seven decades of meetings, petitions, and protests by women suffragists and their supporters.

I wonder how many years will pass before the right of citizens of the United States to marry will not be denied or abridged by the United States or any State on account of gendar?

As with all struggles for basic human rights, the opposers consistantly end up on the wrong side of history.
