Rights don’t come from the constitution. They just are. If someone is not causing harm, then there is no harm being done. Doing (or threatening) violence against people you may think will cause harm using “the government” seems to be more and more popular every day.
Edit since I can’t reply further down: “Reproductive rights” as you call them are also something that doesn’t come from laws or the constitution, whether the constitution protects it or not. Regardless of one’s moral standing, it is never up to other people to decide what is right or wrong for me. That is for me to decide. My rights end when I cause harm to another being, as as defined by the other being who claims to be harmed. No government or papers are needed.
- justinator 4y agoWell, I wrote rights protected by the Constitution. Reproductive rights aren't protected by the Constitution, and look what happened there.
- alamortsubite 4y ago"Doing and threatening violence" seems to encapsulate the American fetish for pickup trucks nicely.
- dancingvoid 4y agoHaha you’re not wrong. That gave me a good laugh. I do wish fewer people would operate such large machines in cities.
