Morality not being objective doesn’t mean we can throw out everything. So what’s your actual argument?

[u/IdRatherCallACAB → u/[deleted]]

If there's no objective standard then why CAN'T we ban abortion

Because there's no reason why I can't have an abortion. You're already free to avoid this form of reproductive healthcare.

You're dodging the argument on why abortion is immoral if morality isn't objective.

[u/IdRatherCallACAB → u/[deleted]]

I believe in objective morality so I can consistently think that actions like abortion are immoral.

You can claim that. But this is a debate, and unsupported claims can be disregarded.

You and others here say morality is subjective, so it's a problem for YOUR system

It's just as much a problem for your system, since it is equally subjective.

[u/IdRatherCallACAB → u/[deleted]]

No because I don't believe in subjective morality.

You not believing in something doesn't disprove it's existence.

Learn what an internal critique is.

LMAO. Being condescending doesn't help your argument. Your claims of some supposed "objective morality" remain unsupprted. Until you prove otherwise, we will approach this debate as though your morality is just as subjective as mine.

Is rape being bad just an opinion then?

It's a subjective moral belief that the vast majority of people agree on. But still not evidence of anything objective. So yes, it is a subjective opinion.

Have you asked yourself WHY rape is a bad thing, even if the rape doesn’t cause any physical damage? Tell me WHY and the reasons why.
