Usually codified by lawy not prosecuted as "immoral behaviour" as such. Although if you look at recent anti-abortion legislation in the US it is intentionally vague. That shifts some burden of interpretation to the executive branch and is a sign of authoritarianism I'd say.
No, it's about the legitimization of law, the legitimization of use of power, checks and balances and unconditional human rights.
