Birth Control (91%): Acceptable
Divorce (73%): Acceptable
Pre-Marital Sex (69%): Acceptable
Gambling (65%): Unacceptable; but not something that should be banned (heavily regulated with services available for those who have a problem with it, yes)
Gay or Lesbian Relations (63%): Acceptable
Having a Baby out of Marriage (62%): Acceptable
Human Embryo Stem-Cell Research (61%): Acceptable
The Death Penalty (58%): Unacceptable (same position as evergreen Tongue)
Doctor-Assisted Suicide (57%): Acceptable
Animal Fur Clothing (57%): Unacceptable when an animal is just killed for its fur: its more acceptable if the fur is a by-product of an animal killed for other means
Medical Testing on Animals (51%): same as evergreen again really
Abortion (43%): ...I don't know whether "acceptable" or "unacceptable" works for abortion - I'm pro choice and think that it should be legal, but its a shame that people have to do it.  A moral policy in my eyes would be to have policies designed to reduce the rate of abortion and unplanned pregnancies (high quality sex-ed: easy access to free or low-cost contraception which is more than just giving out free condoms every so often: that sort of thing) without actually putting barriers on access to abortion (and also not shaming people who're forced to go down that route).  This is a nothing answer really but its what I think.
Sex Between Teenagers (36%): Acceptable; with a small age different however - two 15 year olds doing stuff would be different from people with a much bigger age difference doing things.
Pornography (36%): Acceptable
Cloning Animals (32%): Acceptable
Suicide (18%): ...regretable, whenever it happens.
Polygamy (17%): Acceptable; if all parties fully consent - although some poly relationships clearly aren't.
Cloning humans (14%): Acceptable, although its a very complicated issue in terms of rights and the like
Extramarital Affairs (9%): Unacceptable

-Using marijuana - Acceptable
-Drinking alcohol - Recommended
-Tattoos - Acceptable, although I personally wouldn't get one
-Piercings (apart from female earlobes) - same as tattoos
-Cursing - I'm Scottish, so...
-Transgenderism - not a moral issue
-Prostitution - Acceptable, although as currently set up its incredibly dodgy
-Casual/meaningless sex (not necessarily the same thing as sex outside marriage) - Acceptable
-Kissing outside of a relationship - Acceptable
-Using hard drugs - This is a health issue more than anything: I'd support decriminalising simple possession of such things (although fund and promote high quality rehab facilities for these people; ideally covered by the state since most drug addicts can't afford good treatment) but still criminalise supplying the things.
