...Really? You don't know the division of social and legal issues?

A social issue is one that is purely morally based, but does not interfere directly with the rights of the citizenry. A good example would be small towns having curfews.

LEGAL issues, like abortion, DO directly interfere with the rights of the citizenry. Killing another is always a violation of rights.

Unless you can show that something directly (not indirectly, not might in some bizarre unlikely circumstance) interferes with the rights of the citizenry, then it shouldn't be listed in the party platform. ANYTHING less is support of tyranny.

When you can make sense, then try again, your posts are too vague to make out.
