Of course. Every person that was ever murdered had a right to live, even when it was taken away. Would you say that they didn't?
Rights exists regardless of whether they are respected, that's what makes them rights.
- pb7 6y agoTaken away illegally, hence a "murder". It's not a right if it can be legally taken away by your government. Speech is a right. Driving is a privilege.
- Fargren 6y agoRights are not granted by governments, they are recognized by governments. They exist as part of our culture.
