"Heterosexual sex kept within the confines of marriage does not spread disease."

So then, will you be lobbying for laws making fornication illegal?

How about adultery?

Adultery already has some pretty severe civil penalties when you think about it.

It's not that it's a bad idea. If you could stop adultery and fornication, it would mean and end to sexual diseases, out of wedlock pregnancies, and most abortions.

But I'm afraid just like Moses with divorce, that man's heart is too hard. I think the best we can do here is litigate around it, provide for divorce, provide for adoptions, and protect children and teenagers.

Adultery and (unmarried) fornication were illegal at one time (through the middle of the 20th century no less).

The laws against such acts were never ruled unconstitutional. The supreme court did not strike down all such laws. They were slowly removed state by state in the state legislatures.

Somehow, this is a different sex act because that was not the avenue that the proponents used.
