Law and infrastructure are morality neutral???

Huh? We have LOTS of morality issues in our laws and in infrastructure as well....abortion or no abortion; child sexual exploitation or abuse or not; crime rackateering in the porn and prostitution industry; prostitution, etc etc.

Yes, free speech and choice are important...that does not mean we can’t have discussions and bring up issues or that we can restrict certain behaviors which are detrimental to society. its not that simple, but in a free society and one with a Constitution like ours, its not easy...but to have a decent society AND protect our Constitution is worth the struggles.

We should restrict behaviors harmful to individuals - theft, murder - but not behaviors that two individuals willingly do that offend a third person who is not involved. That is the path to serfdom.
