Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I am opposed to abortion except when it is necessary to prevent the death of the mother.
What in the nature of mankind caused America’s Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?
America's founders understood that humankind is flawed. As James Madison noted, "In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: You must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself." Thus our founders devised the enduring elasticity of this great nation, wherein we can be human but also protected.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
My maxim in life remains what my parents taught me from Luke 12:48: “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.” As a devout Christian, my spiritual values guide my decision-making as I seek to protect those who cannot fend for themselves and protect my country. God has blessed me; thus I want to serve my country again.
