### The notion of basic human rights is a bucket into which leftoids throw
whatever they fancy, usually as a pretext to extract more resources from
workers and to raise their level of control over workers.

A basic right does not entail responsibilities, is not conferred by or
conditional on performance of duties. To say that a human has a basic right
to reproduce means that she cannot be punished for exercising it,
unconditionally. No money, no problem - but somebody will need to pay -
maybe her offspring will pay by going hungry, maybe a worker will be
deprived of his gains to feed them. Acknowledging reproduction as a basic
right is a bad idea.
