Morality is not the same as legality. Most would agree it is immoral to lie. Most would agree that to pass a law outlawing lying would be ridiculous.

One can believe abortion is immoral, but still allow the decision be left to the individual moral sensibility of the mother and left out of the legal realm.
So why don't we eliminate all laws that have a basis in morality and leave such decisions to individuals?

By the way, there are laws outlawing lying. Purjury? Ever hear of it?


It may be that your sole purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others.
