"Not all legal is moral, but what is moral is worth legalizing".

It is true that not all legal is moral. An example would be abortion,


euthanasia, same sex marriage and divorce. There are some countries legalizing it.
In some context and society's values, they considered it immoral. Our laws do not
always reflect morality. There are many examples of laws that were unequivocally
immoral according to the standards of today.
Morality — what is right, just, and true —has been the foundation for law
and society around the world and throughout history. Yes, what is moral is worth
legalizing. Laws ought to be moral. Laws should increase the good life and make
existence more comfortable for those that it serves. As society becomes more
informed and open, citizens demand their laws reflect their new definition of what
is moral.
Sometimes what is moral, correct, right and true is not legal. And sometimes
what is legal is not always moral. The bottom line is that when laws are unjust or
outdated, the people need to stand up and fight for what is right.
