If it isn't based on morality, then what is it based on? Religion? Science? Some particular philosophy? Custom? Something else?
How does the above selection justify that:
- new laws get created
- murder is a crime or not
- abortion is legal or not
- Sex with a 17 yr old is legal or not depending on which side of the state line you stand on, and what your own age is
- (Looking at / trading) pictures of a crime is illegal or not based on what the content is
- etc.
