Legislated morality

#17

Quote:They aren't subjective, they are victimless. The ethical concept of autonomy, that you own yourself, is anathema to statists who believe that we are all connected and that connection gives them input into how you live your life. For that list of items that you mentioned (aside from abortion which I believe affects a second person), there are no victims, no damages, only free persons making a personal choice that should be beyond the purview of the state or surrounding community. The irony is that the USSC ruled that women have a right to privacy as it pertains to abortion, but I don't have that same right as it pertains to growing a plant. 
I used the word subjective because according to who you talk to the things I listed can be not too big of a deal or can be the worst things a person could do. It depends on the individual.
