Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
As an elected official I will never require an American citizen must take a legislator with them to their medical appointments. The government has no place intruding into the relationship between a patient and their doctor.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I was raised catholic and still adhere to the tenants of that faith but do not believe we have an exclusive relationship with God. Many people have found "The One" through other religions. The 10 commandments nicely describe the way humans should treat each other. Many non-judeo/christian religions have a code that is remarkably similar to the 10 commandments. Unfortunately many religions including christians who proclaim they act in the name of God, Allah etc. go against their own creeds and are unable to follow the word of God. Ergo our need for God's grace and forgiveness and the reason for courts and governments who help us remember we are all God's children and deserve equal treatment under the law.
