Well, it isn't a right, because your society isn't free enough on that aspect. Or are you saying people are born with natural rights? Rights are abstract things that the government grant you. Not something you have by nature.
Uh, no. Government is nothing more than comprised of humans. The whole basis of our society is that we have unalienable rights. It doesn't matter how much a government tries to restrict them. They can with force, but even they can't touch some (freedom of thought, for instance).

Rights, by nature, are not favors.
