Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Medical risks to mother or child. I think that we should focus efforts on helping adopt out healthy children. If the mother is medically able to birth the child and there is a happy and healthy home for that child, no child should ever be aborted.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
Raised a Lutheran, my son was baptized a Lutheran. I believe Jesus Christ died for our sins. I do not attend church regularly, but do not feel I need to routinely attend church to life righteously according to the good book.
