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.

Under no circumstances should abortion be allowed.

What is the best way to bring down unemployment?
Stricter immigration policies and the focus on constructing a wall to defend our southern border will not only create jobs, but will restrict the jobs already available from being taken by illegal aliens.
What role should government play in boosting the economy?
Government should remain small and allow state and local legislatures to determine their own policies with regards to the economy. We must allow the free market is run its course with limited interference from the federal government.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.

Strongly Agree
I support expanding protections in employment and accommodations based on sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
Disagree
If children are given instruction in sex education in public schools, it should not express a preference for abstinence but should be comprehensive, offering discussions on various types of sexual orientations and behaviors plus all types of contraceptives.
