Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Abortion should not be a Federal, State or Local government issue. Nor should Federal, State, or Local funds be applied to assist individuals who chose to terminate a pregnancy. The matter should remain solely between the patient and doctor, including the cost and payment.

What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of radical Islamic terrorism?
The chances of an American citizen being killed by a terrorist is about 1 in 4 million per year. At the federal level, we must weigh whether the safety of the nation requires counter-terrorism policies that are not backed up by the sound analytic procedures, and increase federal efforts to implement full transparency of performed analyses.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
Immorality. Mankind's inclination to incorporate decisions based on an immoral and selfish character. America's founders sought to preserve the inalienable rights and liberties of all citizens governed under the Constitution. It is with morality that an adherence to natural law and God's ultimate authority aids the abilities of America's statesmen.
