Well, if only we had any examples of anything even remotely like an "innate right" anywhere in all of human experience...then maybe it would be easier to have a discussion about them that didn't involve personal definitions for concepts otherwise well defined by other words, or misleading language (commonly used) that confuses the subject.
There is no such thing as an "innate right", the very concept of a "right" is a human invention. A good one, but still, manufactured. At least not in the sense that it's been used. Innate as in "originating in the mind"...yes. No one is born with any rights, they are often conferred at birth (or sometime thereafter depending on whatever the law is regarding minors), and they exist nowhere except the legal system and minds of those participating in said legal system. Go to a country under Sharia and tell me all about your innate rights.
