everybody likes choice

Not everybody. That’s the point isn’t it?

So if someone opposes abortion, that means they oppose choice?

Yes.

If you support taking abortion away, then you also support taking people’s choice to have said abortion away to. It can’t be any other way surely?

If you support taking the right to bear arms away, they you also support taking people’s choice to own said arms away. It can’t be any other way. And don’t call me Shirley.

Please note that all laws limit our freedom to choose certain things. The reasons for these laws is because, hopefully, they maximize the freedom of choice for the most people.

Take, for example, murder (just take the example, don’t take it out of context, as I am not equating). If I were to complain, “Hey, this ain’t no free country! I’m not allowed to kill my neighbor who let his dog poop on my flowers!” You might respond, “Hey, if you kill your neighbor, you are limiting his freedom. The purpose of the law is to grant the most people the most possible freedom, and therefore it requires limitations on certain activities.”

Yes, I am anti-certain-choices. So are you. It’s called civilization.
