Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
There is no time or circumstance in which abortion should be allowed. I however do not feel it is my right to dictate what other women decide. There must be greater support of women and children beyond just birth. If you do not want the pregnancy terminated make sure the laws and taxes you create support life beyond birth. Support and education is needed for Mother and child throughout thier lives or until the mother can care for the child herself. Better still teach abstinence, clear sex education directives and family planning. Try to engage the mother, father and child in church, and urge them to make the decision for marriage.

What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
The Bible clearly defines the separation of branches in the Government in the Old Testament as well as the New. Our FOunding Fathers were Bible reading, practicing Christians who clearly knew the Republic would not stand without the Power of Our Almighty God!
