Abortion?:	Not in favor of it, but in favor of the legal right to choose it.
Death Penalty?:	Anti.
Prostitution?:	Legalization sounds like a good idea in theory, but how would you protect prostitutes and prevent exploitation?
Alcohol?:	Not to excess.
Marijuana?:	It's not good for you, but it's not worse than alcohol, so legalize it.
Other drugs?:	Anti, though I'm in favor of prescription heroin for addicts under limited circumstances.
Gay marriage?:	Pro. Straights haven't done much for the institution of marriage in recent decades.
Illegal immigrants?:	I'd rather they be legal.
Smoking?:	It's bad for you.
Drunk driving?:	Don't be a moron.
Cloning?:	Mmmm, Pandora's Box.
Racism?:	Anti.
Premarital sex?:	You're not going to hell for it.
Religion?:	I believe in it, but I regard it as my own personal business.
The war in Iraq?:	Meh.
Bush?:	Wrong, but not Satan.
Downloading music?:	Not the cause of all the music industry's ills: they should try releasing good music.
The legal drinking age?:	21's a bit harsh. On the other hand, 18 doesn't seem to be doing much good in the UK. In the end, it's more about a country's alcohol culture.
Porn?:	Not my bag, but kiddie porn and so on aside, no real moral issue with it.
Suicide?:	I understand the desire, but it's not a very good solution to anything.

It's going to be a lot easier to protect prostitutes if prostitution is legalised than if it's not. You may be more familiar with the law in the UK than I am, but although prostitution is not illegal per se, so many aspects of it are that it may as well be. If brothels were legal, prostitutes would be a lot less vulnerable than they are.
