Your Opinion of Moral Issues

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Acceptable ≠ Good, necessarily and Unacceptable ≠ Should be illegal, necessarily

Birth Control (91%): Depends on the type of birth control; it can have ill side-effects and abortion pills are immoral
Divorce (73%): Acceptable as some marriages are bound to turn ugly and run the risk of violence without this option in place, but it should come with with limits and cause by a fault
Pre-Marital Sex (69%): Acceptable, but not ideal and not everyone comes from a super traditional family and community background
Gambling (65%): It's mostly just dumb to gamble and an unethical means of self-enrichment for casino owners and governments that sponsor gambling; you shouldn't gamble money you're not fine with lighting on fire; it's also addictive for some people and a vehicle for destroying family lives in many cases
Gay or Lesbian Relations (63%): Acceptable, but sexualized aspects shouldn't be pushed on children in schools and in the media
Having a Baby out of Marriage (62%): Acceptable, but not ideal
Human Embryo Stem-Cell Research (61%): Unacceptable, but China will do it if we don't anyway
The Death Penalty (58%): Acceptable, some brutal criminals definitely deserve it for their crimes, but the process and practice of pretty much makes it not worth pursuing
Doctor-Assisted Suicide (57%): Unacceptable, people should be permitted to reject life support but the medical field and industry should not get involved in active assisted suicide
Animal Fur Clothing (57%): Acceptable, not much to say other than it may not be so tasteful
Medical Testing on Animals (51%): Acceptable, it's not so nice but humans are above animals and it works to help development of new medicines and treatments that help us live better and longer
Abortion (43%): Unacceptable except for cases involving reasonable exceptions (life and physical health of the mother, rape, and age of the mother)
Sex Between Teenagers (36%): Not smart to do, but only because it makes life more inconvenient if it leads to pregnancy
Pornography (36%): The porn industry is a disgusting business, but transmitting and consuming images and videos of a lawful and consentual sexual nature without the aim of making money isn't immoral
Cloning Animals (32%): Could lead to a slippery slope if done with ill-intent by powerful actors in society
Suicide (18%): Unacceptable, but no punishments should be put on the family/deceased for doing so
Polygamy (17%): Unacceptable; It's important for everyone to get an equal opportunity to find a spouse of their own, and it's not compatible with American society
Cloning Humans (14%): Unacceptable, no people should be trusted with this kind of power, but China will probably open this Pandora's Box and we'll have to deal with the long term ramifications
Extramarital Affairs (9%): Unacceptable...but if the man has gotten a vasectomy, he has it coming
