why is the gov. allowed to make decisions regarding abortion, marraige and other moral issues when they clearly are personal decisions one should make for themselves.

Voters, every time they vote for candidates that use platforms other than jobs, crime, higher taxes. You reap what you sow and if you continue voting for candidates that put moral issues ahead of social ones, what do you expect.You get the chance all the time to have your say. Separate church from state . Vote on the real issues, not the manufactured ones.

Depends on the government in question.
In a democracy, the people choose the government and the government decides how to govern, including whether to legislate moral issues.
In a monarchy or dictatorship, the monarch/dictator just gets to make the call.
There are other types of government, but in the end it comes down to this. Nobody "decided" that governments define morality. That's just what they do.

My best answer to your question is this quote,
"
The words of two widely separated individuals, the columnist Cal Thomas and the former Egyptian president Anwar Sadat, strike at the heart of the matter. Thomas writes, “When a building’s foundation is in disrepair, it must be replaced. This will take a change of heart and mind that requires different behavior and lifestyle choices. No politician can legislate that.” Sadat wrote in his autobiography, “He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality.” The most vital key to ultimately creating a truly reformed culture is the change that will have to occur within the “very fabric” of people’s thoughts.
"
Best Wishes and have fun but be careful.

Your running for elected office, and political number churners tell you following: You get more votes than you loss by bashing gays, being totally pro-life, fighting drugs, hindering stem cell research and supporting gun over butter. It's all the people old enough to vote that don't even register that make number cruncher job easy.

You sound like a libertarian. Conservatives decided that it was their job to police the rest of us...
