I am a liberal.
I don't recognize the term 'liberal' as applying to a person who thinks forcibly sterilizing infants is a desirable idea. Individual freedoms and equality before the law?

I am a liberal.
If a couple could have one half of a baby, equality under the law would be so simple to achieve. But that is not how it works.
I note that China just reported it's first population decline in 50 years.

There is always neo-liberalism, which is really bad for your personal freedom, equality and health.

Perhaps it might behoove the two of you to clarify what Neo-Liberalism is, and how it might differ from Liberalism?
Neo-Liberalism in a nutshell: No taxes, no regulations, no government, except for maintaining the military and borders and protecting your property from people that do not have any.
Its the wet dream of any rich and powerful sociopath and they are selling this hard in the US since Ronald Reagan and actually practicing it to an extent.
The Koch Brother(s) and Murdoch Media are pushing it hard. With great success sadly.
Neo-Liberalism is basically, why there is no gun control in the US, no healthcare, no social security .. and why the country is heavily polluted, poisoned and irradiated. Oh and why US politicans basically are in the pocket of corporation and the richest of the rich.
Think ... Reagan and Thatcher.
Liberalism on the other hand, means freedom to do what you want on a personal level. Legal weed, gay marriage and so on are things Liberals pushed. Up to the point were it infringes the freedom of someone else.
Then there are people posing as Liberals, but are basically after "the freedom to be an asshole". You know, those guys driving a hummer, saying racist things, tossing their trash everywhere ... and then go "You are taking my freedom away! Wearing a mask is slavery!" when you call them out for their behaviour.
