One could argue there is an underlying objective basis for morality that we all already at least implicitly honor, which is simply how much/little suffering and/or pleasure an action causes in other sentient beings.

The law is just a very, very blunt and imprecise instrument when trying to quanitfy this to come up with rules that ensure the least amount of suffering caused by any individuals actions.
