More to the point, springboarding...I'd entertain arguments to that effect when it comes to abortion. That it somehow damages either our society, our culture, or our way of life. In sum...thus damaging our entire civilization.
Assuming that someone could show that it did, we'd then have to consider the effect of the alternative proposal. We have some idea of the effect, and it's convenient that we decided not that we liked abortion and were pro babykilling...but that the damage done to every relevant category by criminalizing abortion was greater than whatever damage was caused to the delicate sensibilities of the religious. That damage, done to an individual, did hurt society, at least.
We managed to stumble our way through it, though, just as rome did (and as we did) through slavery.
