Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

some of these are "it depends". for example, using drugs like marijuana, alcohol, or participating in gambling isn't a moral issue by itself, but the industry that advertises and facilitates it is.

also, porn can be unethically or ethically sourced, so there I would hesitate between "not a moral issue" and "morally wrong"

Abortion is a moral imperative in all cases where the pregnancy has not been explicitly planned for.

I somehow read this for a second as "whether viewing pornography of having an abortion is morally wrong" and felt like I'd fallen into a different reality.

I'm surprised by euthenasia, but also sad it's still that much frowned upon.

Perhaps people like people suffering for their own desire to keep them around.

Actually, looking at all responses, a lot of this moral compass points heavily toward favouring the suffering of others.
