Not every freedom carries a responsibility with it; how about my
freedom to brush my teeth in the morning?
The above "argument" begs the issue of who is to decide what
responsibilities I should carry, or for that matter what constitutes a
responsibility.  As has been mentioned before, not everyone considers
carrying a fetus to term and then paying $200,000+ to raise it and send
it to school, not to mention putting in the time involved in raising it,
a responsibility.
