Laws have no relation to ethics.
Some law are unethical some are not, even if they are voted by a (super) majority.
But by living in a country, you consent to the laws of the country applying to you. That's the social contract you sign by being a citizen or resident in a country.
Your choice is to not live in that country or vote to change the specific laws that bother you.
- CryptoPunk 7y ago>>But by living in a country, you consent to the laws of the country applying to you Then all laws are consensual, and thus it's impossible for a law to be unjust. That goes for anti-gay, anti-abortion and racist laws. Another way to look at it is that you have an inherent right to live in your own country, without having to meet any conditions others impose on you. Thus you can choose to live in your own country and not consent to all laws.
