On this last day of Pride Month and leading up to the 4th of July, I can't help but think of all the ways our freedom is impacted on a regular basis, from how and who we choose to love and marry, how we raise our children, our body autonomy, how we care for our health and make decisions about our body and how to care for it, our ability to be free from the religious views of others, and our freedom to move freely in the world. I sh...
