The 19th Amendment:

“The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”

Those of us holding individual rights sacrosanct treat all others equally regardless of immutable characteristics like sex, melanin level, etc.

Postpartum psychosis is a real, temporary pathology experienced by many women. It requires immediate medical assessment if a woman is experiencing hallucinations, extreme agitation, among a number of potential other symptoms. It’s morally and ethically correct to feel sympathy for women going through it. But, the Lindsay Clancy murder trial has exposed a very vocal group of women who refuse to hold women accountable for their actions.

Why?

Because women have fluctuating hormonal cycles. Some women are saying all actions by women taken when their hormones are in play are understandable and excusable. One woman even recorded herself throwing ice cubes into a bathtub in a fit of rage while claiming it was therapy for her postpartum depression. Rightfully the feedback she got contained severe criticisms of her performance. If these women are to be believed, it means women cannot be held responsible for what they think and do. That also generates a significant problem for women.

You cannot be rationally accorded rights if you cannot be held responsible for what those rights allow you to do. e.g. You cannot be allowed to drive a car if you keep using it to harm innocent people.

Consequences

If women are too emotional and lack self control depending on where they are in their hormonal cycles…

How can a society allow women to drive, serve in the military, teach children, work in factories, or lead companies?

Doesn’t that also mean women should not be allowed to vote?

There have been many arguments made over the years for why women should not be allowed to vote, but when women murder their children and other women gather around them to sympathize and support them, isn’t it time to rethink women’s suffrage?

No.

The murder of children is a horror and the women gathering in support of the murderer compound the horror.

It’s always time for women to be held accountable for their actions just as any other adult member of our society.

How do we fix the problem?

The women supporting Lindsay Clancy have learned ideas antithetical to a peaceful, thriving, rights respecting society. Who taught them?

Among others, every day, our government owned and run education systems teach our children it’s a desirable, moral good to force others into selflessness. The woke mindset has so thoroughly infected public education that reading, writing, and math are not even secondary concerns. The evidence is astoundingly obvious as schools across the country are churning out graduates who are effectively illiterate and innumerate.

The government has no intention of fixing public education so we must strip it from their bony fingers and end their monopoly in favor of private schools competing in the free market.

Only private schools are succeeding in teaching the basics plus giving students the moral foundation they need to reject the death cult promulgated by those who excuse the slaughter of innocent children.

Our founding fathers did not have public school education. In fact the overall literacy rate in New England when America was founded was about 80% for men and 50% for women. They would never have accepted the execrable concept that a mother’s murder of her children was acceptable because hormones made her do it.

Will you?
