Mother and son in New Mexico face jail time for incestuous relationship

[Excited Penguin]

Laws cannot enforce morality. They can only enforce social behavior. Laws cannot change how you feel about  a matter, they can only lay the groundwork for your punishment if you violate their strictures.

I notice you avoided answering my questions. I wonder why that is.

Perhaps enforcement isn't the best word for it. They represent a certain morality, though, by enforcing social behaviour.

Well, technically, they can change how you feel about a matter. Societal pressure has a big impact on individuals. By laying that groundwork for your punishment, they are telling you what your society, at least formally, deems right and wrong. This is all implicit, not explicit. I can understand  how one would fail to notice this.

Which questions are you referring to?
