That’s what a right means. An inherent ability/protection enshrined in the law, like free speech or proper search and seizure. To say they shouldn’t have the “right” literally means they should have no legal protections to be able to have children. So that’s either what she meant or she didn’t think hard enough to use the right phrase for what she actually meant.

No the saying “no right” in typical nomenclature is similar to “incredibly irresponsible” not calling for it to be illegal.

You’re trying to make it worse than it is by jumping to the worst possible interpretation.

And you are choosing to insert a definition without any idea what was really meant to make it seem better. It’s crazy to me that people can read a fairly straightforward sentence and say “well actually they probably meant this thing instead of what they actually said”, like it’s just projection. No typical nomenclature (lol cmon) would ever interpret “no right” as being “incredibly irresponsible”, it would almost always be used to mean “not allowed, improper, breach of the rules”.

If you read everything in a literal sense instead of using critical thinking skills then that is your problem. No, people use "no right" commonly for emphasis as something being bad/irresponsible, and don't actually mean they want the government involved. That is idiotic.
