While not all legal things are moral, moral issues should be considered for legalization if they improve society and people's well-being. Some current laws allow things like abortion and same-sex marriage that were once seen as immoral but societies' values change over time. Morality has historically guided lawmaking but laws don't always reflect today's standards of right and wrong so citizens should advocate for updating unjust or outdated laws.

1 "Not all legal is moral, but what is moral is worth legalizing".
It is true that not all legal is moral. An example would be abortion,
euthanasia, same sex marriage and divorce. There are some countries legalizing it. In some context and society's values, they considered it immoral. Our laws do not always reflect morality. There are many examples of laws that were unequivocally immoral according to the standards of today. Morality — what is right, just, and true —has been the foundation for law and society around the world and throughout history. Yes, what is moral is worth legalizing. Laws ought to be moral. Laws should increase the good life and make existence more comfortable for those that it serves. As society becomes more informed and open, citizens demand their laws reflect their new definition of what is moral. Sometimes what is moral, correct, right and true is not legal. And sometimes what is legal is not always moral. The bottom line is that when laws are unjust or outdated, the people need to stand up and fight for what is right.
