To start, the words mean the same thing. “Inalienable” has gained a stronger foothold in modern times, but both appear without distinction on the Merriam-Webster Dictionary website, which defines them as signifying that which is “incapable of being alienated, surrendered, or transferred.”

What is interesting is the part in bold. Under this definition abortion and euthanasia should be illegal, as the right to life is explicitly stated in the Declaration, as that document is essentially our country's moral charter.

It has to emanate from the penumbra of the constitution in order to be a right.

While I 100% agree with you, the Demoncrats are claiming incorrectly that the child in the womb is not “LIFE” and therefor has no “Inalienable Rights.”
