It was never about babies.
It is about women.
Women are citizens. The interest the country has is with the woman. A pregnancy is not a citizen and has no rights.
The 19th amendment recognized the fact women are in control of their own decisions. It validated their power as a citizen. Acting responsibly as a citizen does not include getting pregnant or keeping an unwanted pregnancy.
The 19th amendment guarantees all American women the right to vote. Achieving this milestone required a lengthy and difficult struggle; victory took decades of agitation and protest. Beginning in the mid-19th century, several generations of woman suffrage supporters lectured, wrote, marched, lobbied, and practiced civil disobedience to achieve what many Americans considered a radical change of the Constitution. Few early supporters lived to see final victory in 1920.
