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?
