I see an innate problem with where this may be coming from. The government is ascribed the duty of establishing a fair and ethical code of conduct. Who is to say what is moral and what isn't? The only constant in moral consitution is religion... aside from that it's all individual, as there is no general moral authority providing ethics for all of humanity. Do I believe this is proper? Not a chance, but I am also not surprised that it's happening. Eventually any legislation based on moral premises that are primarily drawn from religion (not that there's a lot now) will either slow down and revert through natural shifts of political power, or will continue until the nation reaches a level where people are clearly "oppressed" in manners unacceptable to the more general ideal of individual liberties (which again is subjective so the majority, and thus the legislature, would only care if they wanted to and it fit their beliefs).
