Rights

I am getting very annoyed hearing so many people claim rights that simply don't exist. The victims of our society claim the right to choose, the right to health care, the right to collective bargaining, and on and on. It's as if by claiming a right to something, anyone who challenges them is discriminatory. Horse pucky!

I recently heard a good definition of a right.

A legitimate right is one that no one else is obliged to pay for.

I think it's a pretty good definition. The Constitution states that we have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Claiming these rights does not make someone else obliged to pay for them. A right to health care must be paid for by someone. A right to choose will be paid for by the unborn child.
