Law is morality. When a society sees something as so morally wrong that the force of government aught to be brought against it, a law is made against it. Law codes aren't some magic neutral rules to society, they are influenced by morality and are in themselves the bare minimum morality.
That is true, but what Novus is trying to say I think, is that you shouldn't prohibit something by law just because you find it immoral.
