Does it? Where?

Such convoluted definitions i came across and its simply that... Ok.
"Right and wrong" needs defining. Could mean anything. Even a lot of definitions of morality is too broad i think
Among the possible objective facts of a given topic i can already see a person choosing to apply one set of facts over the other to determine their truth
The Grand Nudger Wrote:Who cares what my explanation of moral realism makes me sound like? I don't. It's simply a consequence of the realist position that some set of moral propositions is right, and the rest are wrong. The trouble isn't that a person fails to understand "the other side" - they understand them fine...and think they are wrong.
Take the the abortion poll we had. There were 4 or 5 options.
Tell me what makes your opinion objective cos i only see subjective opinions here.
Mainly the opinion of when it should be legal to kill an unborn child. A persons opinion is influenced by his/hers experiences and beliefs making it subjective, right?
One persons objective may be the mothers well being, the other persons objective is the babies well being
Whose truth is truer?
