the cost to our culture and society as a whole

A rhetorical fig-leaf for moral-statists who happen to also prefer economic liberty.

So according to you, we should have no moral or as few as possible standards to build our society and culture on, raise our children...

Trying to compel moral behavior at the point of a gun does nothing to advance morality but does have disastrous side effects.

So I don't need to pay for taking care of drug addicts, cure sexual diseases,

Government, not drug use or sex, makes you do that.

rehab abusive alcoholics,

So you want to bring back Prohibition?

protect young girls in the sex trade...

By driving the sex trade into the black market we lose the ability to regulate it with age limits.

Abortion. Euthanasia. Drug use. Prostitution.

Is there one of the above that libertarianism isn’t okay with?
