Then how do you mandate any law to a person where right or wrong is not a factor just obeying society's law is?

If what is right for one person but wrong for the other should one view be forced over another?

If someone says Abortion, Homosexuality, sex outside of marraige
assisted suicide is wrong should those people have the right to believe this way without being labeled intolerant? or does societal pressure rule?

"If Society has nothing that is the *Ideal* in any situation?
Then how do you mandate any law to a person where right or wrong is not a factor just obeying society's law is?"

Under this scenario yo can't. But every society has an ideal, an idea of what is "perfect". To each society this "ideal" will be different. The western world is starting to develop a new "ideal" for our society, that is no worse than it's previous ideal. In fact, in some ways it's better. Less restrictive, more accepting of diversity and differences. In this new ideal everyone is important and Can belong in this society and more importantly they can be true to themselves. What's this new ideal? "Do what you want, be who you are, so long as it logical and doesn't hurt other people in your society." That is the ideal that is developing.

"If what is right for one person but wrong for the other should one view be forced over another?"

Here's the thing with societies. Someone will always be "forced", either by direct force or indirect (ostracizing) to merge with the ideal of the society. It's simply the way societies work.

"If someone says Abortion, Homosexuality, sex outside of marraige
assisted suicide is wrong should those people have the right to believe this way without being labeled intolerant?"

Depends on the ideal. In the ideal that western society is accepting slowly but surely... yes and no. You can hold that idea.... but you'll probably be ostracized for it, because it directly clashes with this new ideal.

"or does societal pressure rule?"

In a society... yes, it does. That's one of the things that makes it a society.

Very good question. If there is no ideal than murder, and human sacrifice can be justified.
