20. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?

Yes, threat to the mother's life. In the end, as a male, I don't have much say in the situation regardless of what moral or legal implications there may be. As a male, I will never be in a position to understand the feelings associated with the carrying a child or the thoughts associated with potentially ending that child's life. I just pray mother's everywhere will make the right decision.

21. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe in God. I believe we are here for a purpose that, although it may remain a mystery to us, will fulfill a valuable role in shaping our existence. I believe that it is our duty to explore, be creative, and experience life in a meaningful way that enhances our spirituality and our understanding of life. I believe we would be a whole lot better off if were able to stick to two main principles: don't steal (looks, trust, property, life, etc.) and be nice.
