Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Only when the life of the mother is at risk.
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
First and foremost, we can start by restoring Christian values our country was founded on. As Reagan stated, "Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction." As a professor and a grandparent, I have seen the level of basic understanding in government and civics erode in our young people. We must restore the teaching of the Constitution and why our rights are so important in to schools. We must stand with our vital ally Israel, ensure Iran is put in its proper place, and develop a stronger military fighting force with more capacity and more innovation to fight the Islamic terrorists both on the field of battle, and the online battlefield. We must attack their funding sources, be it private citizens or countries.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
