YOU CANNOT ENFORCE MORALITY!

No, you are wrong. Morality CAN be ENFORCED! That is what many laws do - they ENFORCE morality.

What you possibly meant to say is that government cannot force people to make moral choices. But, when someone makes an immoral choice that goes against statutory law, then that most CERTAINLY can be ENFORCED.

Sorry about that. Morality can certainly be enforced. Look in Muslim nations under Sharia with their enforcement gangs.

Morality can not be enforced in this country without destroying the Bill of Rights and personal liberty, which is far more precious than public safety or “clean communities”.

As an example, bank robbery is illegal because it is a violation of property rights, not because it is immoral.

Abortion should be illegal because it robs the fetus of its property, it’s life.

exactly, for what is moral to someone one is not to another.

Maybe the child molester wants to have sex with little boys aged 13, and the 13 year old has no problem with it.
Shall we get rid of those laws and let anyone have sex with anyone as long as they consent, hey maybe a 11 year old girl might consent shall we make it alright then?

Shall we allow all forms of marriage under the marriage equality crap we hear, animals, same sex, lots of wives and husbands.

Shall we allow public nudity and sex, after all some would love that under the guise of no Govt, freedom etc?

The founding fathers would turn in their graves if they saw what is being pushed today
