      YES, someone says it. I’m so tired of people bringing up laws when I’m arguing over morals. Let morals change your laws, not the other way around

        Morals changing laws is often a justification for authoritarianism or excluding “immoral” people from basic protections.

        Laws and morals shouldn’t be the same. I’d prefer most people keep their morals out of laws.

        Morals changing the laws is exactly how we’re ending up with the right wing BS that is American politics
