How direct or concentrated an "affect others" criteria do you require? With US tax law, taxpayers do subsidize all married filing jointly couples. If you believe that the aggregate actions of others will cause billions of dollars of harm and millions of deaths, should you seek to prevent those actions? If so, I expect you're opposed to smoking, gun ownership, drug use, alcohol consumption, and non-monogamous sex. It's really easy to dismiss harms or rights you don't agree with. If you think a fetus could not possibly have rights until birth, allowing abortion is easy. If you think an unborn child has rights, the child's death weighs strongly against potential harm to the mother. > some moralists simply oppose change Any examples? Everyone I've encountered wants some change, even if it's "back to how it was" in many areas.
