Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
When the life of the mother is at risk based on her decision.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The natural tendency of those in control of the government is to consolidate their power against the will of the people. The Founders understood that tendency, and thus they created a separation of powers, both balancing authority within the branches of the federal government and balancing authority between the states and Washington. Our form of government has protected our free society and made us an exceptional nation in the world.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

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

Americans know how to live their lives better than Washington does. I have dedicated my entire career too supporting and defending the Constitution.
