OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

Life begins at conception. Besides for rape, incest and the life of the mother, I hope and pray that morally, culturally, and legally we move to a society where abortion is no longer an alternative to life.

Chemical abortion drugs should meet essential safety standards (such as in-person consultation with a medical doctor) and require reporting to gather evidence on reactions and outcomes.

Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer 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

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

States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.

Yes
