If a government says it is not OK to kill someone the day after child birth, but it is OK to kill them the day before, is that not just as much a moral judgment as if they set the date to 2 years after birth, or the day after conception? What if it's an immigrant instead of a citizen? What if it's a frog instead of a human being? If government is to be able to protect individual liberties, there must be a concensus on something as fundamental as what qualifies someone as an individual to be protected. And that is known as a moral judgment.

Criminal law has nothing to do with morality.
Signature? What do you mean?
