MORAL AND OTHER REASONS: Maggie Gallagher replies to Mark Miller

[Note: Mark Miller, not Mark Barton. --Eve]

Just a side note. Mark says objections to SSM and polygamy are primarily "moral," not really rooted in the welfare of children or getting mothers and fathers for kids. I know many people use the word "moral" in this fashion, but I can't really grok it: A moral objection is one for which you can offer no explanation.

I myself consider concern for the welfare of children to be a moral issue. "Morality" is about what is good, including how you value and order complex goods.
