So you're fine with all the legislation I listed in Paragraph three of my OP, plus the Supreme Court's gay marriage ruling, which I left out?
No one is forcing you to marry someone of the same sex or have an abortion. The laws allow others to do so if they want. Who I choose to marry does not force anything on you. If I choose to have an abortion does not force anything on you.

1) IT IS NOT being forced on anyone. It's simple: Don't believe in abortion? DON'T have one! BTW, NICE job of conveniently ignoring we ALL also deal with the fallout and consequences of unwanted children being brought into the world.
2) WHAT makes you believe your judgement of morality should be everyone's standard?
3) By your (il)logic, since the law allows alcohol & tobacco, is everyone having alcohol &N tobacco forced on them?

Immoral laws harm all of society. Look at slavery. That evil affected more than just those who committed the act or were victims of it. 150 years later, America is still paying a steep price for it. Look at the strife America has to now endure because of it, particularly from those who want to prolong it as an issue.
constitutional amendment that says "No law shall violate Christian teaching"
Absurd.
Soon afterward we would have amendments that said "No law shall violate Buddhist teaching", "No law shall violate Aboriginal American traditional religious teaching", and then "No law shall violate Muslim teaching".
We must not establish any sort of precedent along these lines, ever. It is foolhardy to even contemplate.
I guess you're fine with the government pushing a religion too. It's called atheism. So what's the difference between you and me?
Let's say the government started "pushing" the "belief" that Picasso was a great painter.
Now, some people are going to look at Picasso's paintings, and think it's a bunch of bizarre-looking nonsense.
The people who think that can simply ignore what the government was "pushing" and hold their own opinion.
People will do that anyway, no matter what the government "pushes." So ultimately the government "pushing" something makes little difference anyway.
