aka the thing that guarantees the right to unrestricted abortions up until birth and sometimes after.
No, the Confederation Congress did not “adopt the Constitution”. They could not have. In that Congress each state had veto power and Rhode Island, which had boycotted the Convention, would have vetoed it.
It also means women can vote and own property, teachers no longer indoctrinate with organized prayers and creationism in legitimate classrooms, and Black men no longer need lower their gaze in the company of God-fearing White women, also points that still rankle our vestigial AmosArches.

Take it easy on them Rev.
Their world is slowly eroding.
Their gods are frauds (literally in one case; theoretically in the other), and their idols are falling (literally in many cases, theoretically in at least one case [Falwell Jr]).
Their fancies (e.g. NFL, NASCAR, Chick-fil-A, etc.), turned against them.
Their states are turning against them (e.g. Colorado, Virginia and soon to be North Carolina, Texas, etc.).
And their guns can only be used for personal, defensive purposes (well that's if they're telling the truth).
Gee, can't you be any more condescending toward people you disagree with? Surely condescension is a mind-changing debate winner....
Which debate? The culture war is settled. We're mostly just discussing terms of acquiescence (pending replacement).
