As long as there is diversity of people and jurisdictions the law will vary from place to place.

What is legal and acceptable in one place is illegal and abhorrent elsewhere.

Until we have a homogenous global population and one world government there will be laws you disagree with and wont want enforced.

Edit: Genuinely confused by the downvotes here. Anyone care to take the time to explain?

You forgot from time to time. Abortion was legal in all of these places 1 year ago.

Yes, that too.

Social mores and laws can change pretty quickly, in decades.
