How you or others "feel" is not a moral argument. And you do not understand the point of Dr. King's quote.

  Actually how people "feel" is about what makes up ALL of a moral argument. It's moral for you to waste an animals life when tofo rice and beans give you the same amino acids and proteins? It's moral for us to eat these things and spend a hundred times more for the chicken then for the rice? It's moral for us to do this when that money could be spent on a hundred meals for starving children? Much like beauty, morality is in the eye of the beholder, it's what society accepts. There were groups which at one point thought it was morally acceptable to assault women if they were peasants, but not if they were royalty. Everyone at the time thought that was morally okay, since Kings chose their knights, and god chose the king. Sure some things will get a more broadly accepted morally wrong or right vote by people. (not many people today would say rape is okay for instance) but abortion, animal eating, stem cells and LBGT's are still accepted by some and wrong by others. It's called Freedom.
