My point was if you pass laws against any references to pre marital sex, you couldn’t have the Bible mini series on the History channel. Or any showing of Hamlet, because he and Ophelia were kicking it. Or you couldn’t do any show about the Trojan war, because Helen was not married to Paris. And forget about anything in Tudor England, because depending on who you ask, king Henry was always having pre marital sex.

Thanks for clarifying. Of course, if any and all references to premarital sex are censored, then nobody would have any way to frame such in the proper context.

There is no way for the federal government to legislate morality, which is why George Washington put so much emphasis on private morality, as did John Adams when speaking of who the Constitution was made for and what sort it could not govern.
