Moral judgments tell us what to do, and thus logically entail imperatives. "You ought to do this" logically entails the imperative "Do this."
In accepting a moral judgment, we aren't just describing or categorizing; instead, we're prescribing how to live. So a moral belief logically commits us to acting in certain ways and wanting others to do so too.
