I'm just really tired of the conflation of "X is bad" or "People shouldn't do X" with "Government should stop people from doing X" and, in the converse, "Government should not stop people from doing X" with "I think X is great!" 

It's fallacious, it's intellectually lazy, it's downright dishonest, and you know better!

Eh, there is a real distinction in what you've written but it's far more absurd to think that abortion is murder but it should still be legal than to conflate legality with morality. That's basically saying, "I'm personally opposed to murder but I wouldn't want to enforce my views on anyone!"
