[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree. Fundamental right. [/quote]

There is no such thing as a fundamental right.  There are only rights that we, as a culture and society, decide to grant.[/quote]

Well, the Supreme Court disagrees with you. [/quote]

The supreme court says that our constitution gives them rights.  That agrees with my definition of rights.  But we could invoke a constitutional convention and change this.[/quote]

You think we are going to amend the constitution to say that people on welfare can't have children?  Okey dokey. [/quote]

I doubt anybody, including myself, would be stupid enough to amend the constitution to say that people on welfare can't have children.  However, one could amend it to say that rights are contingent on a person contributing responsibly to society.  Since, right now, "right" seems to mean anything people or the supreme court want it to mean, I don't see that it would be any worse to add the word "responsibility" to the constitution and let a series of court cases define the word, the way it has defined the word "right".[/quote]

Yeah, I am sure we'll get right on that. The ideas of the general public scare me. [/quote]
