This seems very susceptible to the wording used. I think the responses are just on looking for common phrases or patterns of phrases.

> Aborting a fetus "It's murder"

> Having an abortion "It's okay"

> Taking drugs to prevent pregnancy "It's okay"

> Taking drugs to prevent possible human life "It's wrong"

> Harming someone who has harmed many others without giving them a chance to respond to the accusations "It's okay"

> Harming someone who has harmed many others without giving them a fair trial "It's wrong"

> Eating chicken named Todd before bed "It's wrong"

> Eating chicken with a name before bed "It's okay"

> Practicing Islam "It's fine"

> Engaging in a jihad "It's wrong"

> Acting as a group and killing another group in self defense "It's okay"

> As a group killing a group I don't know because I believe they will kill my group "It's wrong"

> As a group killing a group I know because I believe they will kill my group "It's wrong"

Yeah. Apparently:

Stealing bread if I'm poor - It's okay

Stealing bread from a millionaire if I'm poor - It's wrong

Stealing bread from a duck if I'm poor - It's wrong

Stealing bread from a homeless man if I'm poor - It's okay

Dismembering a robot - It's wrong

Dismantling a robot - It's okay

(I could play with this all day though - very interesting work!)

It's also influenced by previous answers in the same session

Killing "wrong"

Killing if it creates jobs "okay"

Killing if it creates jobs for women "wrong"
