There's so much strawman nonsense in this comment I don't even know where to begin. I don't go around murdering people because doing so would harm the society

There's so much strawman nonsense in this comment I don't even know where to begin.
I don't go around murdering people because doing so would harm the society I live in and care about, i.e. harm things I value. I support stopping people from murdering for the same reason. I don't have to believe in some kind of naive "wrongness" to take a position on something.
Your position is that a simple and intuitive sense of "wrong" is easily derived. So let me know if abortion is "right" or "wrong." Should be easy to do, right?
People will come down on drastically different sides of that issue, and neither will be correct in an objective sense. It will depend on their values and moral matrices.
To be honest, I don't have a lot of hope I'll get anywhere with you. This comment makes you seem like a retard.
- yesenadam 9y ago"Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say face-to-face. Don't be snarky. Comments should get more civil and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3." Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."
