OMike, this seems like the bolded could cut both ways. I.e.,--

Some of you argue about the inalienable rights of the unborn, but when it comes to immigrants they are just blobs of cells to you.

I'm just curious as to how the concept of "unalienable" rights gets applied across different circumstances. Human rights can inconvenience
people/societies in different ways. Then we are ready to rethink them. (Not excepting pro choicers from this observation.)

What makes rights inalienable? I'm guessing it might depend on what you take to be the ground of rights.

E.g., in my case, it is not religion.

But in some cases I find religion grounding very praiseworthy behavior, which doesn't seem especially selective--
like Catholics who are against abortion because they say they hold all human life sacred at whatever stage,
and also work in soup kitchens, harbor undocumented immigrants, and oppose the death penalty.

(I don't know what your ground for opposing abortion is, OMike; for all I know you work in soup kitchens too.)
