Question

Rahul : One would have to be blind to the reality of mora obligation to deny that people who believe a course action to be morally obligatory for them have both the right and the duty to pursue that action, and that no one else has any right to stop them from doing so.
Richa : But imagine an artist who feels morally obliged to whatever she can to prevent works of art from being destroyed confronting a morally committed anti pornography demonstrator engaged in destroying artworks he deems pornographic. According to your principle that artist has, simultaneously, both the right and duty to stop the destruction and no right whatsoever to stop it.
Which of the following, if substituted for the scenario invoked by Richa, would preserve the force of her argument?
