leave Illinois to practice for a state that does not legislate its morals (or lack thereof) onto its people.

That's what laws are, legislated morals (or lack thereof). The frequently-stated opposition to "legislating morals" is a preposterous anti-morality catchphrase used to attack conservatives as Bible-thumping theocrats. The correct view is that laws should reflect good morals, rather than being immoral or amoral.
