*For the people that DID want women to vote, what arguments do you think they made to back-up their position?

“Woman does not wish to vote as she does not wish to engage in that conflict of wills which is the essence of politics; she does not wish to assume the responsibility for protecting person and property which is the essence of government. She has other, more important work to do. It is the work of the protection of family and society.” -Lyman Abbott
