Fundamental rights, including the right to practice religion, freedom of speech, due process, and equal protection of the laws, that cannot be transferred to another nor surrendered except by the person possessing them.

inalienable right
God-given right, basic human right that cannot be violated (in the USA - the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness)

Definition: a right according to natural law, a right that cannot be taken away, denied, or transferred



Sen Tom Harkin,Dec 23.

"What this bill does is we finally take that step. As our leader said earlier, we take that step from healthcare as a privilege to healthcare as an inalienable right of every single American citizen."


This statement dilutes true inalienbable rights, IMHO.

This isn't what some will want to hear, but the right to life. Has not abortion taken the right of life away? Now some will say it is not until you are actually born before you are human and have this right. My next question would be then, if a person commits murder against a pregnant women, how can they then be charged with double murder?
Personally, I think abortion is murder unless incest, rape, or the life of the mother is at risk
