The point is that you have the right to seek what you wish, to include organized association and to seek to protect what you have acquired. But there are no guarantees. There is no right to life, liberty or any of it. The only part of that line that IS accurate is the pursuit of happiness. Because the right is to seek it, not to find it or keep it. And that's true of all 'rights'. If you wish to have something, if you need to have something, then you are free, 'state' or not, to pursue it. But no promises that you'll find it or that you'll keep it.
The finding and keeping is entirely on you.
