Freedom of CHOICE

I am currently Vegan.  My extended family & my wife are mostly Omnivores & Carnivores. Occasionally we get together at one another's houses and have dinner & share the responsibility of cooking with the host. I am the odd man out.  When it's my turn to cook I could cook all vegan & pretend that I can come up with something that everyone will enjoy. There are some pretty die-hard carnivores in the lot & I probably couldn't satisfy them all.  Some would probably bring their own meals or drop by Burger King on the way over. The other option seems to be that I accommodate those who are Vegan (myself) AND those who are Vegetarian for a night & then those who are Carnivores by a multi-faceted meal. That sounds like FREEDOM OF CHOICE to me. Nobody dictates the whole meal & each gets what they desire.  BTW, the host usually springs for the cost of the meal & sometimes others provide the dessert; no protocol has ever been established.
If anyone can extend this as a metaphor to the usual context for FREEDOM OF CHOICE - let me know. In the political arena apparently we don't have such.

56,662,169 Abortions in America Since Roe vs. Wade in

1973

... From the view of Obamacare - forced health insurance payments for abortion services - what has been the consequences of the SCOTUS decision?
  • Less insurance premiums for the rest of us or higher ones?
  • Less taxpayers to catch the imbalances?
  • Less healthy or unhealthy to be insured?
  • Greater or Less respect for human life by those lucky enough to be living?

  • Do we still have freedom of choice to elect different kinds of people anymore?
