Maybe "rights" as you describe them here get confused at some level with
"things one feels are 'right'," as in 'good,' or 'fair,' and that confuses any discussion of them?


I agree that it can confuse the discussion. When I hear people talking about rights, what they often seem to be expressing is what ought, in fairness, to be a right but perhaps isn't in the here and now.
