Someone can go blow up an abortion clinic and say it's an objectively justifiable defense of unborn babies, for example. And that's wouldn't exactly be untrue.
Can they? Who is harmed by abortion? Will someone or someones be harmed by blowing up the clinic?
Of course it's not a clean cut objective end of a philosophical argument. It's the beginning of one. You can make endless objective moral arguments based upon that one simple idea.

Quote:That desnt make it objective at all...For something to be objective, it must be true or exist regardless of anyone's opinion.
Regardless of the opinion of ghosts, as well, I presume?
