Thats what all progressives say.
Define "human rights." What is a "human right."
How about, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"
Notice "among these" is not restrictive much to the displeasure of some. It is the current Republican Party - not the party of Lincoln, TR or IKE - which opposed the Equal Rights Amendment, the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, gay and lesbian marriage, Affirmative Action, the ACA, collective bargaining, and hope to deny native born citizens the rights of a citizen do to the actions of their parents.
Fair and equal treatment before the law is essential in a free and democratic society - again much to the displeasure of some.
