HUMAN RIGHTS are the basic rights inherent to all human beings from

birth until death. These rights include the right to life and liberty, personal
security, freedom from torture, freedom from discrimination and freedom
from arbitrary arrest, among others.

 Constitutional Provision. Section 1, Article III of the Constitution states “No

person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law,
nor shall any person be denied the equal protection of the laws.” The provision
speaks of “due process” and “equal protection.”

“THE RIGHT TO LIFE”

Life. When the constitution speaks of right to life, it refers not just to physical safety
but also to the importance of quality of life. Thus, right to life means right to be alive,
right to one’s limbs against physical harm, and, equally important, right to a good
quality of life. Life means something more than mere animal existence.

TRIVIA....
The term "right to life" is used in the abortion debate by those who wish
to end the practice of abortion, or at least reduce the frequency of the
practice, and in the context of pregnancy, the term right to life was advanced by
Pope Pius XII during a 1951 papal encyclical:
Every human being, even the child in the womb, has the right to life
directly from God and not from his parents, not from any society or human
authority. Therefore, there is no man, no society, no human authority, no
science, no “indication” at all whether it be medical, eugenic, social,
economic, or moral that may offer or give a valid judicial title for a
direct deliberate disposal of an innocent human life… --- Pope Pius XII,
Address to Midwives on the Nature of Their Profession Papal Encyclical,
October 29, 1951.
protects your right to life!
 The right to life is a moral principle based on the belief that a human
being has the right to live and, in particular, should not be killed by
another entity including government.
 The right to life is a universally recognized right for all human beings.
It is a fundamental right which governs all other existing rights. In its
absence, all other fundamental rights have no reason to exist.

Right to life includes...

 right not to be killed
 able to benefit from appropriate healthcare and a quality education, as
well as being able to live in a healthy environment.
 the dignity of the person must be respected, something which
proceeds, above all, from the protection of one’s right to live.
 Public authorities should also consider your right to life when making
decisions that might put you in danger or that affect your life
expectancy.
 Right to Property
 Right to personal Liberty
 Right to Privacy
 Political Rights
