The morals and ethics of others aren't your concern either

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ Wrong answer!

We DO get to dictate the morals and ethics of others through the courts. That's how we wound up with abortion on demand. We have so many laws telling us what can and cannot do, even to ourselves, that they defy the ability to count them. The USSC dictated the morals and ethics of an entire nation when they declared abortion on demand was a "right" all women had; those who had a moral and ethical argument against abortion were told too bad so sad. Don't tell me I have no right to question the morals and ethics of others. We live together, under a societal contract wherein we agree to certain laws governing our behavior which is guided by our morals and ethics. In exchange we get the protection afforded the group. What's moral and ethical is decided by the majority of people living together in a functional society. The issue of slavery and women's rights are clearly spot on examples of one group dictating to the other group that these are now your morals and ethics. If you don't follow them then we'll lock you away for a while so you're not a problem for those of us who hold opposing points of view.
