Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, I believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration. The government and courts have turned this into the wrong issues. Prosperous people make good decisions. We need to focus on society as whole. Improve that and many of our moral and ethical issues will go away.

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

The Constitution is the blueprint of freedom. On the other hand, it is the judicial and statutory decisions that has rewritten its meaning. The authors of the Constitution were inspired and clear thinking men. The people empower the government - federal, state, local. The Constitution creates a free and powerful people. That is the true intention. The federal government is ensuring its survival by misconstruing its very essence.

Additional comment from candidate:

I ask that we have the right to exercise dominion over our lives, and have the right to live in whatever manner we choose, so long as we do not forcibly interfere with the equal rights of others. Governments have regularly operated on the opposite principle, that the state has the right to dispose of the lives of individuals and the fruits of their labor. People should not be forced to sacrifice their lives and property for the benefit of others. They should be left free by government to deal with one another as free traders in a free market. Freedom leads to peace and prosperity. We are not to be pawned as a commodity for the benefit of special interest groups. This is our FREEDOM.
