“I said it a few times, thats my view. I should clarify though, what I mean by “morality” is really religious based morality.”
You mean you don’t think chokim (stuff like kashrus) should have any bearing on law. Obviously you don’t really think theft and murder should be legal (even though it seems like you basically said so a couple of posts later, I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that it was a misunderstanding). Almost all frum yidden do NOT consider the issur on abortion to be a chok. As to why you do have that perception, I reiterate what I said earlier, you’ve been adversely influenced by socially liberal friends.
“I believe adultery is immoral, I dont think many here (besides Joseph) believes the US government should legislate adultery”
That’s the mentality that caused a lot of blue states to be “no fault states.” Meaning, a woman can have all the affairs she wants and still clean out her husbands bank when they get a divorce (I think it can technically go the other way too, but let’s be real here). In the most civilized countries, men are afraid to get married. Doesn’t seem like the lack of morality in legislation was good for society to me… Or to anyone other than crazy, leftist feminists…
