Constitutional Mad Libs

People are constantly fighting over the content of the constitution, which always confused me because it's not missing parts, or written in another language, but people are always fighting over what it says.

I think I've figured out why.

People argue that there is no right of the people to keep an bear arms even though that exact wording is in the 2nd amendment. The same people argue that the right to an abortion is in the constitution even though the word "abortion" appears nowhere within the document.

The answer is so obvious. Someone, somewhere along the way misread the 2nd amendment! See they thought it read:

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear abortions shall not be infringed."

It all makes sense now!

As a retired supreme court justice said, "We don't need people who can interpret the constitution; we need people who can read."
