Now it is true that the Massachusetts legislature has passed laws to protect the citizenry from the unlicensed sale of soda pop. […] It is also true that Massachusetts still maintains Sunday laws, regulating those impious individuals who would lure us away, with dance or drink, from our regular weekly church services. […] And it surely comes as no surprise that a state which passes laws governing libationary activity might also seek to control sexual activity.
