One example of morality would be stem cell reasearch. We do enforce two of the 10 Commandments (murder and stealing) but those are rights as well as morals.
Not sure how to define "Christian" and other fundamentalist religions also have moral codes based on the Koran and whatever, so I left it open ended.
The strongest advocates of governmental enforcement of morality would be the "Christian Right Wing Political Party" which is less of of problem defining.
A whole bunch of people voted for President Bush because they thought he could influence Congress and he could make judgeship appointments that would establish or bring back a moral foundation for our country, so I wondered if those objectives were really popular or not.
During the early 1970s we (the population) had much more freedom to do things that are now concidered immoral and also illegal. Today we have much less freedom in that respect, so do I see a trend away from personal choice and into governmental control, relative to moral standards?
