Many Freepers will argue that the government can and must legislate morality.

The point I was making is that liberals will argue for the federal gov’t to legislate morality, but never the states.

Libs will say that the feds can and should force the people and the states to accept that abortion is legal (and with ObamaCare that they must pay for abortions with their tax dollars) and will say that the federal gov’t (in this case SCOTUS) can and should force the people to have to accept same-sex marriage as being the law of the land, but libs will never say that these issues must be left up to the states (which is the constitutional position).
