Restrictions on repro rights and citizenship are historically related. Comstock was enacted during a nativist fervor and defended as a means of bolstering White population growth. Not long after Comstock, the exec branch decided US-born children of Chinese workers weren't birthright citizens.

Good Afternoon from your Super Bowl Champion, Philadelphia Eagles.

GO, and I can't stress this next part enough, BIRDS

State constitutions matter greatly, folks.

As an Eagles fan, I want to Cowboys to miss the playoffs, but to win enough games that they don’t have a high draft pick.
