Laws are passed in State Legislatures against the Crimes you mentioned. but That is Only one Social Control.
Morality is another Social Control derived from the Individual Conscience.
Do not Conflate the two, other than Laws are determined by Culture in a Republic via individual voting.
Reality is as you laid it out whether you Agree or Not. In a freer society/state you can campaign for change, In a less free society/state you can leave, hopefully sanity prevails, but there are obviously no guarantees.
As an Expanded Earth example, a Society of Cannibals are quite satified with their diet, a Society with Polygamy is quite satisfied with multiple wives. So within a Broad Societal Framework, change can occur, But Only by GettIng the agreement of the habitants of that society.
