> Abortion
Bad (should be illegal in about 80-90% of cases), but we're not going to do anything about it any time soon; my last term paper was on why the impotent pro-life movement should stop shooting itself in the foot at every possible opportunity.

> Death Penalty
Killing is only OK in self defense; a nation with secure prisons therefore shouldn't have one.

> Gun Control
I'd repeal the 2nd amendment in a heartbeat.

> God
Invoked as justification in arguments, murders, wars, and politics much too often. Not to be confused with any person, book, or structure.

> Human Genome Project
More knowledge is a good thing.

> Extra Terrestrial Life
No evidence for any, but considering the percentage of the universe that we can see in enough detail to detect it, I wouldn't be surprised if there were billions of other places in our own galaxy that contain it.
