God and the Constitution.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

The life of the mother.

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

Our Founders understood that mankind could be corrupted by power and thus established a system of limited powers, both in the form of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, that have allowed our nation to become the most successful, and freest, representative republic (rather than pure democracy) in the history of the world.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

As a Christian, I believe that people are endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights and that the duty of those elected to office is the protection of those rights. Congress should work to protect the rights of the people rather than find end-arounds to take them away.
