moral disagreement
Values in conflict
Moral disagreement is a conflict between people or groups holding incompatible views about right and wrong.
Unlike disputes about facts, moral disagreements involve competing values or ethical principles: The abortion debate reflects deep moral disagreement about personhood and bodily autonomy.
Such disagreements may persist even when both sides share the same factual understanding, because they weigh values differently.
