This may seem a little silly, but bear with me. I’m tired of hearing people claim that we (Catholics, Christians, religious people in general) want to “force our morality” on the nation. I don’;t know about you, but I believe that it’s the job of the govenment to prevent people from hurting/violating the rights of others, and this is a moral issue itself. I don’t, however, think that moral issures concerning the individual only (condoms, church attendence, drugs used in one’s own home) are the government’s business. Abortion harms another human being (the unborn child) and therefore falls in the first category. But I want to get your thoughts on this question. What is the legitimate role of the govenment when it comes to moral issues?

Oops, I didn’t make it multiple choice (can one of the mods please fix it, if possible?) Just list your answers.

Mine were:
Rape
Robbery
Abortion
Abortifacient Contraceptives

IOW, those that harm another human being.

Make another identical one, and they can exist side by side- until one of the moderators locks this one (just make a note of which one you want to keep so the wrong one doesn’t get locked).
