So does this represent a decline in moral values because
people were no longer mandated by law to be setting in
church on Sunday morning fearing God, or being a prisoner
in there own homes?


Maybe not, but there are numerous other examples which
point to laws encouraging moral decline in this country.
e. g. "No-fault" divorce. What "Kerberos" (CMU
student?)has presented here is an argument called
Reductio ad absurdum...a common strategy used
by the left...he tries to ridicule the whole notion that
there should be any laws regulating morality in this
country by providing an outlandish counterexample.

No what I have done, is giving a real life example of how the moralists, when left uncheck, become oppressive. History is full of many such examples

"What "Kerberos" (CMU student?)"

And just so I correctly understand your attack on my character, what is a CMU student?
