Murder is an issue of self-protection.  Self-protection has nothing
to do with imposing morality on others.  You can only be said to be
imposing your morality on others if the actions you seek to restrict
will not harm you.  Would you consider the statement "your right to
swing your fist ends where my nose begins" an imposition of morality,
or merely a statement of your right to have your person left inviolate?
(I would choose the second, of course.)
