"Ethical and legal objections". The point in this case is that what's legal is unethical, and what's ethical is illegal. Analogous to other situations through history and countries, for example in the USA when it was illegal for black people to sit in certain parts of a bus, or in Germany when marriage with Jewish people was illegal.

As human beings, it's always important to make the ethical choice.

Civil wars were fought over ethical issues that were illegal. Similarly fueled civil wars will be fought in the future.
