Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
I am pro-life. I support abortion when the life of the mother is threatened and when rape and incest are involved. I generally agree with Florida law with respect to abortion.
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.

The US must do and devote whatever resources it can, militarily, financially, through control of our borders and the immigration system, etc. to eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism.
