Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
None.
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or business owners because of their deeply held religious beliefs.

Governments should not penalize those who define marriage as between one man and one woman; no other definition of marriage should be legalized or supported with taxpayer or public funds.

Reduce the government's role in the system. Allow open competition across borders with no mandated coverage. Allow individuals to carry as much or as little insurance as they deem necessary (including catastrophic policies for the young and healthy).

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

Cut taxes at every level. Reduce burdensome regulations. Reduce the size of government.
