All law making is a moral activity. All laws are an expression of some underlying moral imperative.

They only work if the prevailing morality [such as it may be] supports them.

Once upon a time, there were laws against sodomy and adultery, because everyone -- or almost everyone -- supported them.

Morality cannot be legislated.

But to try and re-introduce such laws today would prove fruitless. Society, whether right or wrong, no longer supports them.
