the govt is currently NOT NEUTRAL on the issue.

That's the problem, though. The government shouldn't be taking any side on this issue, let alone any other issue. Man's rights are man's rights, the role of government is simply to protect them and to leave morality to men.

[Antoninus]

Man's rights are man's rights, the role of government is simply to protect them and to leave morality to men.

No, you're confused. Man's rights descend from Natural Law as ordained by God. 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.

The American Republic was not founded with a morally relativistic Constitution. It was founded upon Natural Law and if that is taken away, I guarantee you, our republic will fall. Why do you think groups like the ACLU are so keen to undermine our public morality?
