No, but this is an opinion:

literally any statement based on morality is an opinion.

No, it's not. Facts are statements about what is. Statements about what should be—which is what moral statements are—are always opinions.

I can't fucking believe I'm arguing with people who literally don't know what the word opinion means. It's not rocket science.
