Ethical formalism is an ethical theory that defines morals based off reason and logic that says something is defined right or wrong all of the time. Examples of this include saying abortion is always wrong, no matter what and if an individual can do something that is against the law because they think it is right, then everyone should be allowed to do the same thing.
