The logical conclusion to your argument is that anything that happens in private is legal.

Obviously that's not the case. If murder is illegal even if it occurs in private. Then so is sodomy, if the state declares it illegal. There is no right to sodomy in the constitution.

Murder involves violating someone else's rights and thus is not protected by the right to privacy.


Not to mention it is simply not anyone's business what couples do.... I am in favor of smaller less intrusive government , not a government that regulates every private detail of life.... I don't understand how conservatives could feel otherwise.
