The problem with your thinking there is that you're making an assumption that removing rights is automatically a bad thing or a loss that affects us all, which is quite simply not true.

Removing rights can be a good thing.

Shall we bring back the right to have slaves? Shall we bring back the right to murder those we don't like? Removing those rights from people has only made the world a better place.

As you say, rights are rights.

Shall we bring back the right for privacy now that we have no crime anymore?
