It takes some moral statement at face value, concedes that it does purport to report a fact - something about some x that makes it wrong, and that -if- that something is factual, then the moral statement is a factual moral statement.
I guess I'll just concede that I don't understand moral realism, at this point.
My main contention to "factual moral statement" is that they seem to be fluid and dependent upon the person making the claim, not some "out there" observable fact.
