Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

I am pro-life and am opposed to abortion except when the life of the mother is in jeopardy.

Obamacare is definitely not the answer. We must first cute waste, fraud and abuse in the system, and we must focus on directing our resources where they are needed most. This is especially important to my district and rural Texas.

VALUES

Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which permitted our system of limited government.

Any teaching to children on sex education in public schools must include all contraceptive methods, and should not show preference to abstinence.

Strongly Disagree

People should be allowed to use public restrooms, showers, and changing rooms based on "gender identity."

Strongly Disagree

Parents should be the primary authority in decisions affecting their minor children.

Strongly Agree

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

The Founders included the separation of powers in the Constitution to protect our citizens against corruption & greed.
