Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Under no circumstances unless there is an immediate threat to the life of the mother.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I am a Christian, a wife, a mother, a doctor and pro-life. That’s why I believe we must do all we can to protect the innocent, precious lives of the unborn. I believe abortion should only be allowed in cases where it’s absolutely medically necessary, and taxpayers should not have to fund abortions. We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father. Through him all things were made.

Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which of these best describes you?

Very Conservative

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

I have overwhelmingly supported conservative candidates and organizations for a long time. We are very active in our church, the Lakeway Church, which is an evangelical bible based church. We have been active with organizations such as the Austin Pregnancy Resource Center that protect life. We are also active in the Texas Public Policy Foundation. We have supported conservative candidates such as Ted Cruz, Ken Paxton, Rand Paul and many others.
