Section 123 - Blasphemy

[edit]

Section 123 of the Crimes Act deals with blasphemy. Unlike the United Kingdom, New Zealand has not yet abolished this moribund offence.

I suggest the wording be rephrased in this sentence. The use of the word 'yet' implies that the crime should or will be abolished, which adds an element of partiality that is inappropriate for Wikipaedia. In addition, the use of the word 'moribund' is inappropriate for similar reasons - it is inherently biased, instead of being detached and neutral, as Wikipaedia is intended to be.
