Abortion
Late-term abortion is without any question unacceptable and most certainly equal to murder. Earlier abortion, however, should be allowed, especially if either the mother's or the child's life (during or after birth) could be endangered otherwise, if the mother and/or family cannot support the child adequately, or in cases of rape/incest/other extenuating circumstances. I believe the issue of a woman's right to choose is also important, and that raising a child should be an activity to which a parent should devote a tremendous amount of time and energy (and not a trivial decision). While I agree with many critics' arguments about the sanctity of human life, I do not consider zygotes, embryos, etc. to hold the same intrinsic rights and dignity associated with other examples of human life.

Death Penalty
The death penalty, while ostensibly a just means to punish and eliminate truly dangerous and socially destructive individuals, cannot be justifiably allowed to stand as it is. The death penalty in itself is not objectionable, but unjust application of said penalty, the manner of its execution, and systemic flaws (read: our justice system's inconsistent and often subjective nature) mean that our use of the death penalty is wrong. Men belonging to racial minorities are sentenced to death at a significantly higher rate (in many cases suffering harsher punishments than whites for the same crimes), lethal injections are often administered not by medically-trained professionals but by inexperienced and incompetent orderlies (who cut flesh to reach veins, administer drugs at incorrect dosages, etc.), and sentences are inconsistently doled out in different places (identical crimes are punished differently, some states use the death penalty for far less serious crimes/more often, etc.). Additionally, the death penalty has been shown to be ineffective as a crime deterrent. In our current system, and perhaps in almost any conceivable system, the death penalty cannot be accepted as a valid method of punishment except in extreme cases.

Evolution
Evolution is a real phenomenon, with overwhelming evidence to support it. The teaching of evolution in schools should not be considered controversial at all, and attempts to introduce ideas such as intelligent design (which is controversial more due to its background than to its actual premise) or Creationism are clearly unacceptable as injections of religious beliefs into education.

Cloning
Cloning has countless possible benefits to society, with implications for everything from medicine to agriculture to scientific progress in general. Stem cell research, artificial organ creation, preservation of endangered species, and other similar applications of cloning techniques should be allowed and encouraged. Whole human cloning and "enhancement" of genes, however, cannot be justified because of their obvious moral implications. As with any other issue concerning genetic manipulation/duplication, all uses should be reviewed by an independent panel of bioethics experts.

Sex before marriage
Permissible, so long as it's consensual (implying the individuals must also be capable of consent) and non-incestuous. There is also an expectation of some sort of responsibility. While this is objectionable to some religious doctrines, it is not in itself morally wrong or harmful to others. A disapproval of premarital sex is understandable, but should not affect law or treatment of others.

Is it ok for a person to cheat under any circumstances?
This depends on the definition of "cheating" involved; it is my personal belief that one can only truly "cheat" if one still holds strong feelings for whomever is "being cheated on." Cheating should otherwise be considered wrong only in associated wrongs, namely deception or the breaking of some promise of faithfulness (which themselves can be objectionable).

Homosexuality
If it is a genuine part of someone's identity, there is nothing wrong with it. While to some it may seem wrong or even supposedly damaging to society, I find it indefensible to deny some individuals the right to carry out personal relationships or express themselves, whether officially or out of social intimidation.

Antisemitism
Anyone who would argue that institutional antisemitism or antisemitic behavior/public speech, etc. is acceptable is a fool. I would ordinarily refrain from making such a strong accusation, but in this case I think it justified.
