Wait a minute. Would you rather your political views not be consistent with your ethical views?
They should be consistent, -not- identical.
If I'm to hold the position that law and ethics are distinct matters for other people ("You shouldn't legislate morality," more or less), it becomes problematic when they are not for me. Law should be ethical, yes, but shouldn't encompass ethics.
