"You can't impose your morality on us". I'm sure we've all heard that phrase. It is often used by pro-abortion or pro-homosexual activists who want legislation changed to suit their wants. These wants are not to be mistaken from needs. Human beings naturally need what they want, but do not necessarily want what they need. We are naturally seek our rights (or "rights"), but do not seek that of others. We focus on what we want, but could no care less about what others need.
Every person has their own personal moral or ethical standards. Whether they are consistent with a universal, objective set of moral standards is a different matter. Pro-abortion and pro-homosexual activists use this phrase to psych opponents to think that they are the ones who are bigoted. It is is true that people should respect their beliefs, but just because people want a certain change, does not mean that is has to be legislated.
People who say that others cannot impose their morality on them are telling a misleading truth. While people cannot impose their morality on them, they are, in effect, attempting to impose theirs on others.
