What’s Morally Wrong? Americans’ List Grows Shorter

Uncategorized | Oct 15, 2015

Most Americans now view gay sex as morally acceptable, and they see out-of-wedlock birth as no more wrong than wearing fur, Gallup research shows.

Nearly three-quarters believe suicide is morally wrong, yet most say doctor-assisted suicide is morally acceptable.

Acceptance of many behaviors is at the highest level since Gallup began tracking these issues in the early 2000s, although acceptance has declined for the death penalty and medical testing on animals.

Americans are evenly divided on abortion, with 45 percent considering it morally acceptable, an equal share viewing it as morally wrong, and the rest undecided.
