Yes, I agree -- my point was merely that in any case, it wouldn't make sense to argue against a bill on the basis that it takes away freedoms, since that is necessarily what any bill (with a few trivial exceptions) must do. (Of course you can argue against a bill on the basis that it takes away some freedom in particular, given, for example, that such freedom has been enshrined in a founding document, &c., &c.)
