You can be deprived of "LIFE, liberty, or property" through "due process of law", which is how we come to the Death Penalty. Also, killing in war or self-defense is held universally to be legal in U.S. law. The "Right To Life", as such, is ONLY mentioned in the Declaration Of Independance, which, although a wonderful document in and of itself, is NOT a statutory or legal document.

The vast amount of killing the human race engages in, both intentionally and otherwise, of ALL AGES of people, pretty much shows how "sacred" life is to humans in general. Essentially, you DO have the Right To Life...so long as you can KEEP yourself alive.

A brutal reality, but one with which all life has lived with since the primordial ooze.

Guilty murderers have given up their right to live. unborn babies are innocent of any crime, and deserve to be protected from those who would kill them. The right to life is not predicated on the ability to defend yourself from being murdered.

Can I kill your two year old kid? He can't keep himself alive.

If you're reduced to the bizarre arguments in #54, you've lost.

You're advocating the law of the jungle.

You just declared open season on children and the elderly. Too much hyperbole there Long Cut.

By the way, take a peak at the 14th Amendment.
