No, you haven't earned it. It is a precious gift given to you by those that have earned it. It is still your right to vote."
Actually her right to vote was specifically granted to her by the 19th Amendment, in 1920.

The key word is "granted". Blood was spilled to establish this country, blood was spilled to maintain this countries freedom. Without that blood, the document that contains the 19th would no longer exist. Those that spilled that blood and those that are willing to give their blood to maintain that document are the people who "earn" the rights. The rest of society is just beneficiaries of that gift from them.
It is still a right to all citizens of age. That right is a gift and should be appreciated as such!
