I don't see what a false dichotomy has to do with morals. To choose between killing a pregnant woman and an old man is not a standard of behaviour nor any lesson to be learned. It is lesser of two evils dilemma. Both are wrong in principal and probably have other options. Wrong and less wrong is not a moral choice. It is a lesser of two evils choice (unavoidably amoral).
moral :1. a lesson that can be derived from a story or experience., 2. standards of behaviour; principles of right and wrong.
EG: In the us elections there is no correct moral choice. War criminal/rape victim witch-hunter vs racist/sexist/taxavoiding/dumbdumb nut bag. You choose you lose.
