The relevant similarity between rational and moral intuitions is that they are both sets of intuitive beliefs that we have. I’m not aware of a relevant difference that doesn’t beg the question against according properly basic status to moral intuitions.

Seriously? So you think the belief that 2+2=4 is as widely accepted and as difficult to argue against as is the belief that boys should all be circumcised? On what grounds can you possibly assert that the belief in the morality of compulsory circumcision is properly basic?

0. There is a necessary objective standard of morality. (Supported by moral intuitions.)

This is where your argument runs into trouble right out of the box.
