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

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
It should not be permitted.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was born in raised in a Catholic home. The universal nature of the Catholic Church, founded by Peter nearly 2000 years ago, has provided me with a strong faith through all phases of my life. Christianity is the lens through which I view the world and that through which my husband and I teach our children. One of the reasons I am seeking public office is to protect these religious beliefs that are critical to the future of our country.
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.
My website outlines many of my positions and provides support for me to self-identify as very conservative. I have not held elected office and therefore do not have a voting record. However, as an appointed member of a committee that reviews grants for our local government's children's council, I have always been adamantly opposed to using taxpayer dollars to fund Planned Parenthood, regardless of the program. My husband and I have chosen to homeschool our children and believe in school choice for parents and children. I am a staunch supporter of the 2nd amendment.
