Does your believing in a right to life mean that YOU have an obligation to provide me with food to keep me alive?

I personally have a moral obligation to provide you with that which by the Grace of God, you cannot provide for yourself. That is charity. I have no right to demand that someone else provide you with those necessities nor do you have a right to demand that I do so under penalty of law.

To force me to pay for your food is to rob me of my money and steal from me the opportunity to be charitable with what God has provided me. Frankly forced charity is a sin in that it robs God of the glory and gives glory to the politicians who passed the laws which compel citizens to pay for your food and other necessities.

Churches which advocate for government sponsored social programs paid for by the general treasury are robbing God.

So, just because you believe in a right to life does NOT mean that you have a responsibility to provide me with the food necessary to keep me alive. Now corollary - Definition of corollary at YourDictionary ... noun pl. corollaries-·lar′·ies. a proposition that follows from another that has been proved; an inference or deduction; anything that follows as a normal result I consider the "right to health care" to be a corollary of the right to life. (I also consider the right to bear arms to be a corollary to the right to life.) The same as with food and the right to life, that does not mean that you have a responsibility to provide me with medicine or to provide me with a gun.
