...Kinda the same as those Muslim Extremists try to do, thinking their laws and moral sets should be imposed on everyone, everywhere...

The church has needed to be reigned in for a way longer time than any government has even existed.

From the Ohio river south, it just gets worse and worse until you find yourself in Florida, asking yourself what the hell is going on around here?.
Maybe the government does need to write a law or two to keep the zealots in their place since those zealots can't figure out that regardless of what they think or believe, some people won't think or believe the same nonsense as they do.

In 1915, architect William Sanger was charged under the New York law against disseminating contraceptive information.[13] His wife Margaret Sanger was similarly charged in 1915 for her work The Woman Rebel. Sanger circulated this work through the U.S. postal service, effectively violating the Comstock Law. On appeal, her conviction was reversed on the grounds that contraceptive devices could legally be promoted for the cure and prevention of disease.[14]
The prohibition of devices advertised for the explicit purpose of birth control was not overturned for another eighteen years. During World War I, U.S. servicemen were the only members of the Allied forces sent overseas without condoms.[citation needed]
In 1932, Sanger arranged for a shipment of diaphragms to be mailed from Japan to a sympathetic doctor in New York City. When U.S. customs confiscated the package as illegal contraceptive devices, Sanger helped file a lawsuit. In 1936, a federal appeals court ruled in United States v. One Package of Japanese Pessaries that the federal government could not interfere with doctors providing contraception to their patients.[14]
Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) struck down one of the remaining contraception Comstock laws in Connecticut and Massachusetts. However, Griswold only applied to marital relationships.[15] Eisenstadt v. Baird (1972) extended its holding to unmarried persons as well.[16]
