“Natural rights” don’t come naturally. Something is a “natural right” not because laws of physics dictate they are inviolable but because they are essential to humanity and peaceful existence, and every human is born into them.
The “natural rights” to life, liberty, pursuit of happiness, assembly, association, religion, arms, etc. are the closest we’ve come as a race to “absolute moral truth”.
