Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I am mostly pro-life however I do not believe in government restricting access to abortions for many situations - most of which are between the mother and her doctor, or very early in the pregnancy.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The human nature of wanting to control and tax others was the primary reason they wanted to seperate powers.

I am a Christian, however I do not believe that government should take a stand on any religion, nor favor any religion over another.

Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
