It is simple, do what is right. By going the way of what is "needed" it means choosing something that is wrong and this leads to people who do that to say they are gray and the world is many shades of grey. This is simply wrong. There can not be gray without black and white.
"Before one can identify anything as "gray", one has to know what is black and what is white. In the field of morality, this means that one must first identify what is good and what is evil. And when a person has ascertained that one alternative is good and the other is evil, they have no justification for choosing a mixture. There can be no justification for choosing any part of that which one knows to be evil." (Rand 87)
What rights are there: The right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Nothing else. Not the: guarantee of a job, health insurance, housing, food to name a few that tons of people in the world think that are.
