But that is coercive.

That is enforcing your value systems on somebody else who does not adhere to the same set, and by external action, pressures him or her to take actions they otherwise would not take through free choice. Coersion.

You and I are simply arguing degrees.

There is a difference. Those are real crimes committed by one person against another. The purpose of coercion in this case is protect people from themselves, which the govt has no business.
