All I''m saying is that the conclusion doesn''t follow from the premise. Just because we entered the world with God-given dignity doesn''t compel the conclusion that everyone has the inherent right to be a U.S. citizen and/or be given health insurance.

It''s important to review the logic (or lack thereof) that we may hide behind in order to rationalize our own failings and poor choices. However, I may take issue with you on #1.
