re: #71 calochortus

I think natural rights is a fairly useless concept in law. I don’t think you’ll get much agreement on what those “natural rights” actually are. As a woman I may in fact not own my own body according to many folks. A fetus would take precedence regardless of how the conception occurred. I might not have the right of self defense against, say, my husband under some theologies.

But you would have that right here, undeniably. None of those theologies pass constitutional muster. Not even close. The founders did come to an agreement on those rights mentioned in the Declaration and the Bill of Rights
