well, yeah....but the reason for the distinction....

you can violate my morals without violating my rights. I can get offended (passively) if you violate my morals, but violate my rights, and I'll defend them.....actively. If someone goes to jail for rape, they go for infringing on the rights of their victim...not for offending their morals. makes sense to me.
