Your Opinion of Moral Issues

[satsuma]

Reordering for hot take efficiency.

Birth Control (91%), Gay or Lesbian Relations (69%), Having a Baby out of Marriage (62%), Sex Between Teenagers (36%), Pornography (36%): Neither. All fairly common behaviors, but filing these all under "possible sexual immorality" and waiting for a workable code of sexual morality before judging further.
Doctor-Assisted Suicide (57%): Neither, Suicide (18%): Mostly unacceptable. In any case, acceptable for the terminally ill, unacceptable for people with gas in the tank. The former is mostly mercy for the terminally ill, but there are slippery slopes.
Abortion (43%): Neither. Should be considered bad if entirely elective.
Divorce (73%): Mostly acceptable. A painful but unavoidable part of marriage is that they sometimes go sour.
Gambling (65%): Mostly unacceptable. Wasteful and addictive.
Human Embryo Stem-Cell Research (61%): Acceptable
The Death Penalty (58%): Acceptable
Animal Fur Clothing (57%): Acceptable
Medical Testing on Animals (51%): Acceptable
Cloning Animals (32%): Acceptable. I am not an animal rights activist, nor of embryos or convicted murderers.
Polygamy (17%): Unacceptable
Cloning Humans (14%): Unacceptable (slippery slope reasons)
Extramartial Affairs (9%): Unacceptable. No exception for consensual affairs / polygamy.

Polygamy (17%): Unacceptable
Cloning Humans (14%): Unacceptable (slippery slope reasons)
Extramartial Affairs (9%): Unacceptable. No exception for consensual affairs / polygamy.

But why?

Not the OP, but polygamy is generally associated with a lack of women's rights.

The thing about consensual affairs makes it clear that it isn't just that association.

I just don't like pretending that the polygamous, polyamorous, and open relationship people are normal or acceptable, or that what they do qualifies as marriage in the Western sense even if they have a marriage license.

Why should they not be acceptable? Because they feel icky to you?

Yes. I reserve the right to know the difference between good and bad lifestyles. I'm thinking about the children.
