> just like every battle for our civil rights

Eh. Only if you look at the past 15 years perhaps. But I think over the past 60 years it's been quite the opposite. We fought for civil liberties until we won, for the most part.

Very much agreed. If you look back even further, the past 500 years, what you will see is the systematic expansion of rights and freedom.
