Whenever you hear someone say “You can’t legislate morality,” you can be sure they are either lying or they’ve believed a lie.
Legislation always originates from moral thought.
“Legislation always originates from moral thought.”
Yep. It’s all morality. It’s morally wrong to murder.
Respectfully,
IMHO, Legislation, should but does not always, comes from moral or ethical character.
I would argue that much of legislation is immoral, being unjust & preferential in it’s application. A two-tier form of justice.
Ideally, law is a codification of moral & ethical behavioral standards. Sadly, modern law has parted ways with these in many instances. i.e. Abortion, Economic opportunity assistance, Immigration, etc.
Millennials are in a state of muddled thoughts & behavior with the lack of clarity in social mores. It’s called cultural diversity but fast becoming a chaotic anarchy.
Founding Fathers warned that a moral government can only come from a moral people.
