Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

None

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Catholic

By fostering a business friendly environment that will create more jobs and opportunity.

How would you promote healthcare coverage that is adequate, affordable and accessible for all?

Change current tax and insurance law to put health policies under control of the citizens by expanding the use of high-deductible policies with matching health savings accounts.

Get out the way of free enterprise.
