The book is also an in depth examination on how society in the USA
changed from 1880 to 1980.  Technology changed radically in that time
and so did societal morals about sex and drugs, not for the better.

Which are generally what determine and drive laws.

True, but it is an entirely possible position to take, for example,
that a society ought to _practice_ chastity, as that would be better
for it, without trying to impose it by law, by criminalizing
homosexuality, adultery, and so on.

 I'm not sure what you'd like to prevent,
if not teenage pregnancy and overpopulation
in general.  Or sexually transmitted diseases.
But we don't need /chastity/ to avoid all that.
 

One can do what ever one wants with one's Vat Girl(tm) and it will not violate chastity.  ;)
