Can we clear a few things up? In America we all have certain rights. They are nnot bestowed by government but we are born with them. The purpose of the Constitution is to prevent the government from infringing upon our rights.
We also have certain FREEDOMS, while these are not "rights" we typically call them such. A "Right" is something you have irresptective of other people. Life liberty, pursuit of happiness. These do not dpened upon others and we have these even if no one was around.
However, there has been a push from the political left to morph basic freedoms innto "rights". How can you have a "right" to something that must be provided to you by someoe else? This make them a slave to your desires, for example.
You have the FREEDOM to buy birth conntrol. You do not have the RIGHT to have someone lese pay for it
You have the FREEDOM to earn as much or as little as your abilities warrant. you do not have the RIGHT to an executives pay for a etry level effort.
You have the FREEDOM to purchase health insurance or to go to a doctor. You do not have the RIGHT to force that doctor to work on you.
You have the FREEDOM to go out to eat. You do not have a RIGHT to force that business owner to serve you.
Your Rights do not take precedence over anothers, nor do they alow you to force another to do anything. Live your life, and stop trying to force others to obey your desires.
