Every single law that exists is based on a moral viewpoint. Morality is utterly and totally inseparable from the act of making laws and running a government. We make drunk driving illegal because we consider it immoral. Iran makes a woman showing her hair illegal because they consider it immoral. Saying “social issues” shouldn’t matter in law is a meaningless statement because everyone defines that term differently. You have to tell us which issues you want enforced one way or another under the law and which you want the law to ignore.

Obvious nonsense.

Which of these acts is intrinsically evil?

1. Driving on the right side of the road
2. Driving on the left side of the road
