I attempted to answer that a little bit here.

Thanks. I saw that right after I posted. It still seems really problematic to me though, this idea of rights “derived from Nature or Divine Providence”. I thought nature defined laws like gravity, not rights—am I misunderstanding the definition in this context? If it’s Divine Providence, then that opens up a whole other can of worms with regard to separation of church & state, at least in my mind.
