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.

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

The medically verified threat to the life of the mother.

All discretionary spending must be looked at for cuts as well as entitlement programs.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I have been in church all of my life and answered the call to ministry at the age of 16. I stand firm on the belief that Jesus is Lord and according to John 3:16, desires to see all come to know Him. I also believe that it is the destiny of this nation to promote Chrisitan values, through non-coercive means.
