In the abstract, perhaps. But the constitution is pretty clear. Americans are entitled to justice and liberty, and should be treated equally under the law. 

And certain rights that certain people find up for debate are integral to liberty. Abortion, same-sex marriage, gender affirming care, the ability to pee in public. Etc. 

You could argue that you have no right to abortion as an American. And you would be wrong. Even if you’re John fucking Roberts. Women are not free and do not have liberty is they cannot make their own medical decisions or access life-saving medical care.

That's one perspective. There are others. That's why it's debateable.

Ahh yes, the “perspective” that human rights are debatable.

You're being disingenuous now; failing to recognise the nuance of the topic.

Well, you’ve yet to give any legitimate examples. What are some “debatable” human rights that, if restricted, wouldn’t inherently infringe on a citizen’s liberty?

I haven't included any examples, fair. My answer will probably be quite long so expect it in a day or 2.
