Let's put it this way: you have a right to life, but this right may be suspended in certain delimited circumstances: if you're posing an imminent threat to someone, or in certain places maybe if you're merely trespassing. You have a right to free speech, yet this is again restricted in many circumstances. You cannot: lie under oath, make a false accusation, make a libelous statement... Pretending that a small sentence can encompass all the possible nuance of the multiple situations that arise in our messy reality is being an "absolutist".
