Yeah, this should be legal everywhere, and regulated and taxed. No reason for this to be illegal, and having it illegal only makes it easier for sex workers to be abused and suffer poor working conditions and so forth.

Weed should be as legal as alcohol, though I would favor requiring permits to grow more than five or ten plants, and taxes on commercial sales of weed, to ensure we get plenty of government revenue from it. I also have no problem with banning the smoking of weed in any public place that smoking cigarettes is not legal.

I'm in favor of legalizing most drugs, provided that laws are in place to prohibit driving while high or tripping on anything, and also, one should be prohibited from carrying or using a weapon while high or tripping. Those drugs not entirely legalized, IMO, should be mostly decriminalized, since it's better to treat addicts for their addiction than to just toss them in the clink and hope that somehow it will help their addiction to get prison-raped.

We should totally lower the drinking age to 18. If you're old enough to be drafted into the military, vote, and get married, you're old enough to have a beer after the election, champagne at your wedding, or a lot of scotch after getting called up.

Adultery is a crime of religion. Secular governments should have nothing to do with it.

Porn should be legal everywhere.

The only arguments against abortion are religious. Therefore, secular governments should have no laws prohibiting it. If religious people don't believe in abortion, they don't have to get them.

I can't see a reason to outlaw polygamy. Government has no business poking its nose into what people do in their bedrooms. And if it's an article of religious faith, government has no place legislating about religion.

As long as there is a video record of the person indicating their wish to die, or there are duly witnessed records of the person stating their wish that, if certain medical circumstances come to pass, they wish to die (along with proper medical certification that such circumstances had come about), euthanasia should be legal.

It's ridiculous to outlaw suicide. On the other hand, it's also fair to say that suicide attempts can indicate mental illness. Therefore, I say that it's fair to say that if a person is brought into the hospital and revived successfully from a suicide attempt, and they have left no DNR or papers indicating they wish to die, it should be permissible for the hospital staff to demand a psych consult to determine the person's stability-- with the knowledge that the person might be declared sane but desirous of death, and they then cannot stop the next suicide attempt.

That's a pretty broad spectrum. Sometimes things are more complex than people may think. We'd have to get specific.
