There are several things that are considered normal in society that I have a moral objection to. Pornography, casual sex, abortion... just to name a few.
Abortion I can understand but how can you have a moral objection to activities people willingly engage in?
Abortion is not only non-harmful but in many or even most cases is morally good.
Pornography and casual sex aren't harmful in themselves but they have the potential for harm. The former can cause addiction and the latter can be dangerous if proper precautions like contraception and having sex with people you trust aren't taken. Also sex-addiction can be harmful like porn-addiction can. All addictions can be harmful. But neither porn nor casual sex are harmful in themselves, they can both be harmless fun.
Nothing wrong with abortions. It's either morally neutral or morally good. It could only be morally bad if the mother was forced to have an abortion. And in fact, in some societies, it's the exact opposite that is forced.
