The root of the problem with this question is the new fuzzy thinking with regard to 'rights'... the notion that the right to pursue a thing is the same as the right to the thing outright.

This concept was called out by Canadian Supreme Court Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin when she wrote this: "Access to a waiting list is not access to health care."

What I was really thinking is, you have the right to eat, for example. That doesn't mean somebody has the obligation to feed you.

You have the right to a weapon for use in self-defense. That doesn't mean that someone is obliged to give you that weapon.
