Amendment IX: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the PEOPLE.
'Natural Rights' are those rights granted by God to mankind
and which governments are erected by mankind in order to protect.
It is NOT for governments to protect us from ourselves or from sin.
In the very first book, first chapter, of the bible it clearly states that
FOOD was granted by God. Therefore, it is every man's right to partake
of whatever Gifts of God.
"Bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression."--Thomas Jefferson
