I believe the term "human rights" has been corrupted in many cases. Too often the term "rights" is incorrectly substituted for the correct word: "responsibility." There are not "reproductive rights;" there is reproductive RESPONSIBILITY. Exercising our free agency to harm others is not a "right." My right to swing my arm ends when it reaches your face (unless, of course, I am defending my life). We also do not have the "right" to sin. We have freedom to choose, but that never justifies or gives us the "right" to break God's laws.

This article argues that what constitutes a "human right" is in some cases up for debate and lists some examples like abortion and euthanasia. However in the same list of debated rights is listed "women's rights", which I find very troubling. What does this even mean? Are "women's rights" not equivalent to human rights?
