There is no right to act in a way that's morally evil. No right to abortion. No right to sodomy. No right to adultery. No right to pornography. A government that protects such false "rights" is one that does great harm to its citizens and which will eventually become overtly tyrannical. An immoral or amoral republic can not exist for any great length of time before devolving into tyranny.

Does this also mean there is no right to persuade others to join the wrong religion? No right to disrespect one's elders? No right to be slothful, gluttonous, or immorally proud?

What criterion do we use to determine if something is "morally evil"?

Not sure. But I do know one thing - the government certainly isn't capable of making the decision.
