enforce morality."
The argument that morality cannot be legislated was a great favorite of racists in the 1960s, so your argument has a long and dishonorable history. In response to that argument, the great Martin Luther King said:
"We must go on to say that while it may be true that morality cannot be legislated, behavior can be regulated. It may be true that the law cannot change the heart but it can restrain the heartless. It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me but it can keep him from lynching me and I think that is pretty important, also. So there is a need for executive orders. There is a need for judicial decrees. There is a need for civil rights legislation on the local scale within states and on the national scale from the federal government. "
Some things never change.
