OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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?

As a physician, I have taken an oath to do no harm; to protect life at every stage. In medicine, sometimes though decisions must be made in which no option is good, bur rather the care provider and the family must choose between the best of two bad situations. I would support a family's choice for an elective abortion when, in consultation with her physician, the procedure was necessary to save the mother's life.
