>>81832543Abortion and gay marriage are "permanent" things, it makes sense to want to criminalize them.
Pornography is a different argument, the only reason I can figure is that it's a soft thing you can do in your own bedroom so it's easy to slip into and get addicted, not unlike alcoholism.
Fornication and adultery are possibly one time slip ups you're able to recover from.
Now, that's just my thoughts on why that would be the case.
Most people I know do in fact want adultery criminalized because it can ruin families.
Fornication is something that, though it should be criminalized, I don't really see any way for it to be so. If it's a fine, that's just targeting poor people, and that's even if it's caught in the first place. It will make such things go underground more, or lead women to try to get out of it by claiming he raped her. If it's jail time, that's entirely unproductive and just locking people up during their most productive / important years of their life. Sometimes social shame is the only thing you can really do.
For the porn thing, I think the answer would be to go after the sellers / distributors and not the consumer, for the record.
