What is worst is seeing someone using an example of a person referring to abortions, sexual comments related to "stop the breed" and other disgusting things as an example of why we should not have a CoC. That and the fascist comparison makes me wonder a lot about his values. May I suggest you to bring constructive arguments into the game instead? I got what you consider as a limitation of free speech. I think many already explained why it is not about free speech but protection and about confirm and ensure a safe context, given you understand what "safe" means here. Hopefully.
