We may not be a communist country, but even "free" is limited. There has to be rules and regulations and I'm sure a lot of people view those regulations already in existance as communistic, but the beauty of being a democratic country is that we can lobby congress and vote for what we jointly feel is the best for society. A vasectomy law would probably never be voted for by most men and some woman, but if abortion is ever banned, then someone better think of a better solution to preventing unwanted children besides a pill that may or may not work.
