This is a good summary of the metaethics problem.
I disagree with your conclusion. (It hasn't gotten very far). I think EY's metaethics sequence handles it quite nicely. Specifically joy in the merely good and the idea of morality as an abstract dynamic procedure encoded in human brains.
So is abortion right or wrong?
That's applied ethics, not metaethics.
(I think it's sad, but better than the alternatives.)
