From Pew Research Center:
Across a wide range of issues, Americans express morally permissive views. Nearly all U.S. adults (96%) say that eating meat is either morally acceptable or not a moral issue, and 91% take similar positions on using contraceptives to prevent pregnancy.
Also:
- 75% express no moral objection to spanking children.
- 63% have no moral problem with patients choosing to end their lives with the help of a doctor.
- 60% have no moral qualms about homosexuality.
These are key new findings from two Pew Research Center surveys in spring 2025 about the morality of 15 behaviors.
