If we could agree that morality is subjective, and that legal entitlements are simply human constructs based on agreed upon subjective moralities of the individuals who participate in contriving such legal entitlements, I would say from an objective perspective that no one actually deserves any rights whatsoever, as they are mere fabrications. Rights are not something that anyone deserves, but rather something that is given to others by those capable and willing to give them.
In my mind it is similar to the idea grace. Consider this by the contrast we see in the mercy and grace of God. By God's mercy some people won't get what they deserve. And by God's grace some people will be given that which they don't deserve. It is by the grace of others that we have rights. It is not deserved. It is a gift.
Now you can certainly write it down as a legal entitlement and try to pass it off as some thing that actually exists, that somehow by virtue of just being human that you are somehow entitled to the entitlements of rights, but it is not true. It is a gift, and it can be taken away, by anyone in an instant, because it's not real. I can give you the right to speak, but if I believe that you have spoken too much, I can easily take away your so called right to speak.
But wait..."I have a right to life" ...no you don't.
This answer was based on the concept of rights that I believe most people refer to when speaking about rights, such as human rights etc.
However, there is another definition for "rights" that I believe we can talk about that is real and objective. When considering such rights, we shall see that they truly exist, and cannot be simply taken away by anyone on a whim. Here are some examples of what I mean.
You have the right to love God with all your heart and with all your mind. No one can ever take that away from you.
You have the right to not steal from others. No one can force you to steal anything from another human being. It is a God given right to not steal from others.
You have the right to not kill another human being. No one can force you to kill anyone. It is your God given right to not commit murder.
You have the right to tell the truth. No one can take away this right. It is a God given right. It is an inalienable right.
You have the right to be faithful to your spouse. No one can force you to willingly commit adultery.
You have the right to believe in one God.
You have the right to not covet that which belongs to someone else.
You have the right to honor your mother and father.
You do not necessarily have the right to say what you want, but you do have the right to not say what you do not want to say.
These are God given inalienable rights that we have that no one can take away from us. Therefore they are real and true.

Everybody can be defined as every person.
Everybody can be defined as everyone.
Everybody can also be defined as every important person.
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/everybody
you will see this definition on this website if you simply scroll down a little.
So I am curious. Who do you mean should have equal rights when you say everybody? How do you define everybody?
Is it that every human body (every body) should have equal rights? Because as I see it, many unborn human beings are being deprived of their right to life simply because their bodies simply lack the ability to survive outside their mother's womb, are incapable of defending their supposed right to life, and do not have a strength or force behind them capable or willing to defend their right to life. Or, could it be that there is no one with sufficient grace to give them the right to life that they supposedly deserve?
Who has sufficient grace to call an unborn child an important person?

Prisoners could have equal rights, if we had sufficient grace to give them equal rights. But then again, if we gave prisoners equal rights, we'd have to release them from prison.

At the same time, what is usually implied by "equal rights" is an equal playing field for everyone at the starting point. While a prisoner will have their rights restricted compared to a free individual, such disparity is not a result of a particular discrimination against the prisoner for who they are, but rather the reaction of the state on their actions - the reaction universal with regards to all people, regardless of who they are.
Of course, a similar argument can be made in support of a totalitarian state such as North Korea, where people punished for speaking against the state is the result of the state reacting to their actions regardless of who they are; so some additional clarification is needed. In a way, "equal rights" is a loaded term implying not the equality between different people in itself, but also a certain set of human rights that is respected by the state, and a certain degree of tolerance of the society and the government towards people that do not conform with its expectations.
I would give a positive response to your question, under the assumption of its common interpretation. If instead I was to use a literal interpretation, then I would have to respond negatively.

According to the latest scientific research, everyone has “Equal Rights”!
Professor Adrian Bejan (the Professor who discovered the constructal law, aka “unalienable Rights”), the scientific community recently celebrated his contribution to science at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia.

You think you have a right to life, a right to liberty, and these can be taken from you in an instant. Rights that humans are capable of given are not rights at all...they are gifts given by good and decent human beings. And there are millions of evil persons who would take them from you in an instant. Where is your right to life when someone shoots you in the face?

If I read your contribution correctly, I believe that you said "I do not understand why you would object. These are the 10 commandments, and you have the unalienable right to obey each and every one of them, and there is no way that anyone can every force you to disobey these laws...no way anyone can take away these rights. And they are given to us by Moses, who was given them by God. You can object if you want, but these are your rights". Yet that is a fallacy. There are many, many ways to strip a person of these afromentioned rights. "You have the right to not kill another human being. No one can force you to kill anyone. It is your God given right to not commit murder". A gun placed in your hand. Another guiding your hand, aiming the weapon at another, and using your finger to kill another. There are many ways to bypass these so called "unalienable rights".
"You think you have a right to life, a right to liberty, and these can be taken from you in an instant. Rights that humans are capable of given are not rights at all...they are gifts given by good and decent human beings. And there are millions of evil persons who would take them from you in an instant. Where is your right to life when someone shoots you in the face?". This sets the premise for the advocation of slavery, as well as murder. Are you saying that simply because there are those who seek to deprive you of rights, that you now have no rights? That seems like extremely flawed reasoning.
"These are God given inalienable rights that we have that no one can take away from us. Therefore they are real and true". Are they true because they are God given? This seems like a large lapse in logic where one situation is used to justify another. "Drinking water is immoral because the Greek god Poseidon takes displeasure in your consumption of water". Using one dubious claim to justify your own dubious claim is never logical, nor does it lend your argument any sense of reason.
In conclusion, your entire argument looks to be heavily based around the existence of God, another topic that is incredibly difficult, if not impossible to prove, and all your justifications are either based around Christian values or completely absurd reasoning such as logic which states that simply because rights can be taken away, they are no longer rights. I think it is safe to say that your reasoning is complete rhetoric.

Relative to a discovery in thermodynamics called the constructal law states:
“For a flow system to persist in time (to live), it must evolve freely such that it provides greater access to its currents.”
Our “unalienable Rights” claimed by Thomas Jefferson of “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness” in the US Declaration of Independence has a one-to-one mapping to the physical constructal law:
For a flow system to persist in time (to live) [Life], it must evolve freely [Liberty] such that it provides greater access [the pursuit of] to its currents [human Happiness or positive feedback for all life].
All flow systems, when given freedom guided by the constructal law, evolves into dendritic configurations. Both animate and inanimate systems are trapped within the matrix of the laws of nature—there are no exceptions. Life is a product of the laws of nature and, in a sense to quote American scientist Carl Sagan, “life is a way for nature to see and experience itself.”
The US Constitution was designed to embrace and protect the individual’s “unalienable Rights” from the crimes of others and from the crimes of government, no more, no less; the State governments did all the rest. As a result the US changed the world like no other in recorded history in a short period of 200 years through advances in technology, food production, and medicine; a social empirical data point offers a compelling example of what can happen when our unalienable rights are free to flow within the awesome machinery of nature.
In other words, when any government follows the physical constructal law, they will improve the standard of living for their citizens while increasing the wealth for their nation.

Thomas Jefferson’s philosophy of “unalienable Rights” has a one-to-one mapping to the physical constructal law. A physical law in nature is omnipotent, where no man-made law or philosophy can change. In a letter to H. Tiffany, Jefferson said:
“Of liberty then I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will: but rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will, within the limits drawn around us by the equal rights [“unalienable Rights”] of others. I do not add ‘within the limits of the law’; because law is often but the tyrant’s will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.”

You may indeed have the right to not love God...I'll give you that one.
You do not have the right to steal from others. People can prevent you from stealing.
You do not have the right to kill another human being. People can prevent you from killing another human being.
You do not have the right to tell a lie. People can prevent you from telling lies.
You do not have the right to not be faithful to your wife. People can force you to be faithful. If no one was willing to partner with you, you could not be unfaithful.
You do not have the right to believe in one God. You do not have a right to believe anything. We don't choose our beliefs. We can only be compelled by what we come to believe.
You may indeed have the right to covet that which belongs to someone else.
You may actually have the right to not honor your mother and father. I'll have to think about this one a bit longer.
You're right in that we have the right to not say what you do not want to say.
Not bad...you got perhaps 4 of 9 right. However 44% is a failing grade. Don't worry I won't be counting on you for my rights.
