That may well be, but it doesn't change the fact that they are all laws that 'legislate morality.' If we did not have laws to do that, there would be no laws against murder or a father having sex with his daughter.

The leftist (false) argument that we should not 'legislate morality' is not based in the reality of what the laws we almost all agree on are there for.

Typical. No understanding of force and consent. Using overblown rhetoric to make the case.

No, they are laws that regulate behavior.

Morality is the intentions and decisions a person both holds and makes prior to their actions.


What makes both Obama and Santorum so appalling is that they do want to legislate morality. Or in other words, they want to use government to change what you believe. (Obama... you vill believe in global warming and abortion for all! Santorum... you vill believe porn is Satan's work)

And that is patently offensive to any free man or woman.
