Whenever I hear someone state they are against something whether it be abortion or the death penalty or vaccines, gun control etc. I always ask myself what might be their thoughts if someone close to them were affected by that decision they appose. It seems people are often against things which seem distant from them at the time. But often radically change when it touches close to them. Just a thought!

The US Supreme Court has rejected your expansive notions of "freedom" since 1905, fwiw: en.wikipedia.org The Court held that "in every well ordered society charged with the duty of conserving the safety of its members the rights of the individual in respect of his liberty may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint, to be enforced by reasonable regulations, as the safety of the general public may demand" and that "[r]eal liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own [liberty], whether in respect of his person or his property, regardless of the injury that may be done to others." [2] Still good law, cited many times over the past 116 years.
