I don’t really like talking about things in terms of “rights.” It seems more helpful to talk about duties and prohibitions. In other words, rather than talking about a “right to life,” it makes more sense to me to say “you may not intentionally take the life of an innocent person.”

So, do you have a “right” to fly a flag from your house? I’d rather say, the government may not prohibit you from flying a flag from your house.
