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?
