"Citizens should be free to make their own choices for themselves and their children, especially benign ones about how to socialize and who to socialize with."

It's interesting how few governments believe this. Your rulers know what's best for you, and it's not freedom.

We regularly restrict choices of vulnerable people in our society. That’s why kids can’t drive, drink, smoke, etc.

Parents can give their kids alcohol and cigarettes, that's fully legal.

Driving involves danger to other. We restrict adults from doing things that are a danger to others, it has nothing to do with being "vulnerable."
