Moral Laws

With the example provided it doesn’t look so implausible, although even within the consensus there would be divergence of opinions which might lean in directions such as- don’t drive at all; don’t drink at all; if you kill someone while driving drunk you should get the death penalty, etc.

But what happens when we look at an example which is more divisive to us all…which tears the fabric of society even more ? I’m thinking of pornography here.

The human person is worthy of profound respect works two ways. We respect others and we respect ourselves. It is because of the wonders of our human nature that we are worthy. Pornography hurts in a way different than a knife, but both can be lethal.

When one claims there is no objective moral law, doesn’t that mean they are simultaneously claiming that there is nothing that exists which is either inherently good or inherently evil or harmful to human beings and/or their nature ?

Yes.
