Clipping from 1918 newspaper, "A Brilliant Denver Girl Dies. Mrs. Carrie Barnes-Ross, who, only last year, married Dr. Ross, a prominent doctor in Boston, Mass., in Indianapolis, Ind., suddenly died after a brief illness in Boston, her home. Dr. and Mrs. Ross were only recently blessed with a fine, bouncing 10-lb. boy. The sad intelligence came suddenly to her mother living at her home at 775 Franklin St., Sunday afternoon. Everyone knew of the wonderful record and achievement made by both Miss Pearl and Carrie Barnes while in Denver, and no finer set of girls ever lived better and more refined than they. Mrs. Ross was an active suffragette, and one of the pioneers in Indiana who can honestly claim honor for helping Indiana to vote her women suffrage. She leaves a mother, sister and uncle. besides her deeply-bereaved husband to mourn her loss."

From the hellsite:

Trump supporter: The 19th amendment should be repealed— that is the Christian position. Women should get their voice from their fathers, husbands, brothers or uncles.

This is one of the things that #Project2025 has suggested in slightly more vague terms. They want to take away #WomensRights in multiple ways. Taking away women's #BodilyAutonomy was just the beginning. #Contraception, #Suffrage, #conservatives want to take all of it away.
