Okay, I'll answer your question. None of those things you list compel me to do anything. I don't have to pray if I don't want to. I don't have to have an abortion. I don't have to enter into a gay marriage. So, no, I don't feel that my freedom is impinged by any of those.
And the mechanisms that would allow you to change any of those are intact--the constitutional amendment process. Gather enough people who agree with you and you can change the laws, or the government, to suit you. Like I said, you have a loose definition of dictatorial. Or dictorial.
Now answer my question: Was the United States a freer country when it allowed slavery?

You’re trying to dumb down the conversation just to win a stupid argument on the internet.
You know darn well no community can stop abortion or pray in a public school.....and very soon you wont be able to stop your children from being taught YOU are a horrible person if you dont support gay marriage.

Like school prayer? forced bussing? gay marriage? (all imposed against the will of the people) Many states are heavily anti-abortion...where is the freedom on these things? All are imposed by the federal government against the will of the people.
If you honestly think these things will change simply because we choose to believe the same way you’ve been living in a cave.
