For the life of the mother. In some cases rape and incest if criminal charges are filed.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree
ECONOMY
What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?
Oklahoma should continue to cut or lower the income tax on working tax payers.
What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

NONE!!! Not constitutional if they do......

What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.
"C"
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None.
NATIONAL SECURITY
What should the United States do to help eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism?
Teach the history of our founding fathers and their intent that America was founded on Christian values and teachings. None other.
I support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement to pressure Israel to withdraw from occupied territories, remove the separation barrier in the West Bank, allow full equality for Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel, and promote the rights of Palestinian refugees.

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.

VALUES
Judeo-Christian values established a framework of morality which is necessary for our system of limited government.
Strongly Agree

God made male and female.....
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition

Oklahoma does a pretty good job with their elections but the National election process is a problem. The Constitution allows each state to regulate their own election process and has big problems in the Democrat led states.
