Read a random definition: implied assertion

A quick definition of choice:

Choice: The freedom to make a decision or choose between different options. This can include the right to choose a school for your child, the right to privacy, and the right to have an abortion.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Choice refers to the freedom to make decisions and exercise one's rights. It can be seen in various contexts:

  1. Freedom of choice: This refers to the liberty that comes with exercising one's rights. For example, the freedom to choose one's religion, political affiliation, or career path.
  2. Choice in education: This refers to the opportunity for parents to select a school for their child in a unitary, integrated school system that is devoid of de jure segregation. For instance, parents can choose to enroll their child in a public or private school, or opt for homeschooling.
  3. Choice in healthcare: This refers to the liberty to exercise one's right of privacy, especially the right to have an abortion. It also includes the freedom to choose one's healthcare provider, treatment options, and medical procedures.

For example, a person who decides to pursue a career in music instead of medicine is exercising their freedom of choice. Similarly, a parent who chooses to enroll their child in a private school is exercising their choice in education. Lastly, a woman who decides to have an abortion is exercising her choice in healthcare.
