When one comes to think of it, there are no such things as divine, immutable, or inalienable rights. Rights are things we get when we are strong enough to make good our claim on them. Provided, of course that the state you live in will allow it, and if a filibuster-proof majority of the Senate agrees with you having those rights, and if the corporations that employ you or provide vital services to you which you depend on for life also think that you should have those rights, then, yes, sure, you can have them.”
- Helen Keller, 1940
