To me free will is both loaded and ultimately meaningless term, used to give a christian god "get out of jail" card. I would say that we have ability to choose but our choices are constrained by context, upbringing, available information, wealth, position in society... It is fair to say that some people have more options but to say that some have more free will seems absurd, as one either have it or not.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

Mikhail Bakunin.
