No one has a "right" to engage in immorality, regardless of consent.

From what little book of law did you pick this one out of? I have every right and am breaking no law when I engage in most immorality, why does sexual immorality count? Better stick with the law and quit making it up as you go!

Blackstones Commentaries. You should try reading it sometime before you stick your foot into your mouth or your head up your derriere.

(Chapt. 2, Of the Nature of Laws in General): To instance in the case of murder: this is expressly forbidden by the divine, and demonstrably by the natural law; and from these prohibitions arises the true unlawfulness of this crime. Those human laws, that annex a punishment to it, do not at all increase it's moral guilt, or superadd any fresh obligation in soro conscientiae to abstain from it's perpetration.

I have every right and am breaking no law when I engage in most immorality, why does sexual immorality count? Better stick with the law and quit making it up as you go!

Can you give some examples of legislatively sanctioned acts of immorality? I can only think of a few, such as remarriage after divorce prior to the previous spouses death that are "legal". Blackstone did not look highly upon such nonesense as making "legal" that which is immoral.
