Unalienable rights are still unassailable despite Pompeo
Positive rights are established by the social contract, which is voluntary and includes the right to not be murdered. Women are protected by matter of right. Affirmative protection of the unborn is untenable. It is up to those who seek it to say how it would work within the context of existing rights to equal protection under law. Good luck with that.
The best hope for the unborn is the expansion of social welfare systems. This includes contraception, which prevents gastrulation and is therefore not murderous. Vatican City wins on most social welfare, but not on women's health. It fails on freedom of conscience and scientific grounds. Freedom of religion is an individual, not a group, right.
The United Nations Human Rights Council has cause to sanction the United States for manifest reasons, not only for its conduct toward African Americans and Immigrants, but also for the evolving tyranny recently undertaken by the Department of Homeland Security, which has become an Interior Ministry in opposition to the rights of migrant and its citizens. Trump has his wish. He is emulating Putin. Secretary Pompeo's report is a cruel hoax, the kind expected of tyrannies.
