I know some places are more progressive in this regard. But from the U.S., I’d like to see every person entitled to:

  • shelter
  • food
  • healthcare
  • education and higher education

(As an aside, not sure “right” is the best term here, I think of these more as commitments that society would make because we have abundance. One advantage of the word “right” is that a person is justified in expecting it - it’s not welfare/ a benefit / a privilege)

    I think one problem with this is, most of you are all talking about positive rights. Rights are things government can’t take away not things the government gives you. Rights are inherent. Think of it as more the government can’t deny you food, not, the government will supply you food. The one post about abortion would be that the government can’t deny you medical autonomy, that would cover it, as well as dying if desired. Then the debate just has to decide when a life is a life and requires protection (not having that debate here)
