Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
"Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death." I am the mother of a (now-deceased) severely mentally & physically disabled child, who didn't walk or talk, didn't feed herself, wore diapers her entire life, had an extremely rare type of dwarfism, and was only about 1-1/2 years old mentally, when she died just shy of 25---and I AM STILL PRO-LIFE! She had the SWEETEST personality, was an ANGEL ON EARTH, and she is an ANGEL IN HEAVEN! I believe that her life & death led to my previously-agnostic Dad's salvation, just 52 days before his death, at 94. Moms & Babies have a RIGHT TO LIVE! I saw an article of a ONE POUND BABY that was born prematurely, that now weighs over 5 lbs: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/673557/World-s-smallest-baby-born-Rajasthan-India-Asia-Manushi If the baby's heartbeat has absolutely stopped ON ITS OWN--(thru natural death, & no longer life), the lifeless baby needs to be removed
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
From reading the Declaration of Independence, it is clear that our Founders & Framers understood history & man's sinful nature, that power corrupts, that our individual rights come from the Judeo-Christian God of all creation & not man, & that governmental powers needed to be limited. They founded our country and laws on the Judeo-Christian God's "Ten Commandments."
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a Bible-Believing Christian. I believe that the Judeo-Christian God created the Universe and everything in it, that God's Word is without error, and that there are various writing styles included in the Bible. I believe that God created EXACTLY ONE "race"---the HUMAN "race"---and that we are ALL the SAME "race"--with just differing shades of skin "color." We are ALL members of the MAN "KIND"--either male or female--NOT a third choice. We are to Love God, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" & "Love your neighbor as yourself." Gov Abbott told me he wouldn't have a problem with putting the latter 2 on school walls. Some of my favorite websites: http://www.GoodPersonTest.com/ http://shoreshdavidbrandon.org/statement-of-faith/ https://answersingenesis.org/ https://arkencounter.com/ https://creationmuseum.org/ Some favorite books/videos: "I Have A Friend Who's Jewish, Do You?" "The Resurrection Factor" Anything by John Hagee or AnswersInGenesis.ORG

Is there anything else you would like voters to know about you?
I have traveled to 27 foreign countries--incl. Israel & Cuba in 2017--from the depths of the Dead Sea to seeing Mt. Everest. I am a Fort Worth Native, and have lived within 4 miles of TCU my entire life. I spent 6 years in public schools & 7 years in private, graduating from FW Country Day School. I was the first of my FWCD class to start & finish college, graduating from TCU in 3 years, at 20, earning 42 hours (incl. 12 grad hours) my 4th year, for my BS degree, and my MBA years later. I've been married nearly 37 years. #ConstitutionalConservative, #PowerToTheParents, #SchoolChoice, #DoWhatWorks, #BackToBasics, #FreedomToLearn, #LetTeachersTeach, #StopTeachingToTheTest, #SpecialNeedsAdvocate, #ProLife, #FaithAndFamily, #BSF, #MAGA, #TCUFrog, & #AggieMom are all important.
