If so your view of natural law is at odds with our founders.

No, I said it was at least positive law as in the Second Amendment.

Natural Born of children born of citizen parents has been acknowledge as natural law going back a long time to the days of Justinian. The contemporary legal scholars Vattel and Blackstone of 18th century wrote about it and agreed that citizen parents is the bases of being natural born, and they were much read by the Founding Father's of the US Constitution.

Similarly women have a natural right to equality under the law, it was not a law passed by men that gave them that right, the right has always existed and was finally recognized and put into effect.

Equality now to have the right to vote. They have a right by man made law as I posted above. You show me where that natural law was understood by the classical scholars of natural law said it was natural law for women to have a right to vote? Like it or not this world is of patriarchal societies throughout time where the families and women have followed their husbands and fathers. It still is despite liberals trying to change nature.

In the Supreme Court opinion 1874 Minor v. Happersett, it was held that the women and Virginia Minor did not have the right to vote. It was not until the 19th Amendment passed by man made by man.

You said “it is positive law for sure”. Although I can see why you now feel the need to lie about it. Your understanding of natural law is lacking.
