You can 100% apply your moral objections to others, because you've got God putting his stamp on it, which gives it authority over everyone, whether they believe it or not.
The complication is that I disagree on God existing.
But it can still be hard to be consistent. Like abortion. You think life begins at conception, I assume, and people are murdering babies in the womb? Other people think it's just a 'fetus' and isn't human yet. So can they have an abortion or not?
It's a very similar situation. Do you find abortion to be objectively immoral, and think they should be outlawed regardless of what others believe? Or do you accept the differing opinions, and it's okay for them to get an abortion?
Fetus is just a stage of development, not a species. Being a fetus, like being an infant, teenager, adult, etc, doesn't mean not being human.
Sure, ppl can think a human fetus is not human and therefore has no right to life. But some ppl used to also think blacks were not really human and it was therefore "ok" to enslave them or kill them. Truth of the matter is humans are humans whether you believe they are or not, and some things are wrong whether you believe they are or not. Such as Killing and enslaving innocent ppl.

Like, literally?
I'm with you on fetus's being humans. Seems pretty clear.
But what we see from a lot of Catholics, is the "I think it's murdering an innocent baby, but I respect their right to choose." Which, to me, is exactly the same as what I was saying about it being fine for people who don't value human life to kill the Syrian Refugees.
Yes to sociopathy.
