    Theres a lot of different ideas of what human rights should be. Abortion is the easiest example. Its a human right to abort, which to some is murder. In that case, it would make sense to be against to be against human rights, if you believe that right is to murder.

      Or from the other perspective, pro life people see Abortion as violating the right to life.

      Well no. The problem with all the comments here is that they all presuppose that whatever the commenter likes is a human right.

      Someone against abortion would not say “I oppose human rights” they would say “abortion is not a human right” and more than likely “abortion violates human rights”.

        Yes, but to some it’s murder. And even in a non-abortion context, self-defense can be murder.

        The entire abortion debate is completely and utterly fucked.
