Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.

Strongly Agree

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.

Strongly Agree

I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

only in the case of rape or incest, or threat to the mother's life

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

Immigrants who go through the legal steps necessary are the only individuals who should be allowed to immigrate to the US.
