"Is it freedom" is a pretty dogshit metric to base how we rule on because freedom can mean anything to anyone, like you said. We had the right idea with the Bill of Rights putting definitions in place of what freedoms are and what we can expect, but the only part of the Bill of Rights that hasn't been out and out ignored by the state is the amendment prohibiting the government from forcing Americans to quarter soldiers in their homes, so it's not like that's worked either. What's sad is I don't think it will get any better anytime soon. -

“Abortions should be tax-payer founded so I can be free to do what I want with my body” -> Positive Liberty, imposes a condition on other people so they can feel “free” to act in a certain way, freedom depends on collective coercion, rejects individual choice and personal responsibility, uses the label “freedom” to mean security.

The correct equivalence is : decide not to take vaccine child = individual risk of the child to get measles. Just because I decided not to act, that doesn’t mean other people can not take action to protect themselves. For example, if someone is poor, that’s the direct consequence of the life choices of that person that lead them to be poor, it is not the fault of “rich people” not “giving their fair share” ( or some idiotic crap like that ) to support the welfare state. Your example is just a cope out that irresponsible people use to excuse themselves from the consequences o their own behavior.

Not really. Someone’s inaction is not related to someone else’s actions against themselves. There is no equivalence there. Other people’s problems are someone else’s problems.
