If you really object to someone's morals isn't it unethical NOT to try to change them? ... within the
limits, no doubt, of certain civilised constraints, good manners, etc., or whatever is appropriate to the
nature of the particular issues at stake and your relationship with the other person? Conversely, if you
believe, or come to the conclusion, that it is never ethical to try to change anyone else's morals, then
wherein, would you say, does the point of your own morals consist (whatever they may be)?

You will probably agree that murder is going too far, but anti-abortionists and animal rights protestors
have in the past resorted to terrorism. At the end of the day, what matters is not that the other person
has the objectionable moral views but rather the fact that they are prepared to act on those views. So
if you can't win the argument, then consistency with your own firmly held moral beliefs demands that
you take the next logical step and resort to violence.
