I respectfully disagree with EW and you.

Legislation based upon morality is the foundation of western civilization. If you truly agree with EW, you favor de-criminalizing all laws based upon a moral code for human conduct. As I stated in post 757, “If your position were adopted, laws prohibiting theft, fraud, murder, bribery, perjury, embezzlement, forgery, domestic abuse, indecent exposure, and a myriad of other morally based crimes would be repealed because they are based on ‘a system of moral conduct.’”

Please tell me that isn’t what you really want.

You can legislate Justice, Fairness and you can legislate rules and regulations.

You cannot legislate morality no matter how you try.

I am not opposed to laws, just laws like Roe V Wade which attempt to legislate morality (and Roe V Wade was not a law, just a decision of the supreme court.)
