  • Innocent until proven guilty isn't a human right

    The what now?

    It is, it's an international human right under Article 11 of the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

  • Human rights aren't as sacred and protected as you think. Even if they should be :)

    I agree with you, I don't think they are anywhere near as sacred or protected as they should be, there are examples of that everywhere. However.

    Freedom of thought is a human right, a lady is in court next month for "thought-praying within a safe space" in Birmingham.

    I'm pretty sure you're talking about this:

    Said lady is the director of March for Life UK, a pro life organisation. She knowingly broke an exclusion zone outside said Birmingham abortion clinic which had - quite rightly - been put in place to protect the people working there and the users of the service, who have every right to a safe abortion without getting hassled by god botherers.

    So it's not a great example, unless you mean that access to safe abortion services is a human right, in which case you're quite right.

  • I'll admit I'm uniformed there.
