As a general rule (outside of abortion), I don’t believe that Torah or religion should drive a politicians position. It would beg the question of where do we draw the line. Should we lobby shatnez being illegal to wear? Why can’t one argue against milah, that it should be a persons choice? Is it sheva mitzvos? Is it just what we consider foundations to Yiddishkeit? What dictates when we COULD impose the Torah’s views and/or when we SHOULD impose the Torah’s views.
This is not a cynical question. I am actually interested in peoples thoughts about this.
