Ronald explains it much better than I...
Natural rights are every mans at birth and are not State-granted. If each man has an equal claim to liberty, that is, the use of his rights, he can be limited in his freedom only by the claims of other men to an equal share of liberty. The circle of rights around every man extends as far as it may without intruding on the rights of other men. For this reason are the rights granted by the State bogus rights. A right to receive welfare, for example, is invalid since it requires the abridgement, however partial, of the rights of the citizen who is compelled to pay for the welfare benefits given to someone else. Natural rights, by contrast, require no abridgment of another individuals rights to exist, but are limited only by the same natural rights of another person.
Ronald Cooney, The Freeman [October 1972]
And without a government and laws to enforce these alleged natural rights you have nothing.
Face it, there are laws against murder because murder is morally wrong.
It's morally wrong because it violates a persons natural right to life...
Is it morally wrong to violate....All men are created equal?
Is it morally wrong to deny someone their liberty and freedom because you do not like the color of their skin?
