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

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.
Choose not to answer
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Life of the Mother
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
No - State Control
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The government shall not interfere with the pursuit of religious freedom. Often people believe this to mean that the church should not have any influence on Government decision-making. As an individual my faith influences who I am and would therefore influence my decision making.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened.

HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Vaccinations should be an individuals decision.
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.

Government Healthcare should be available for those who are unable to work/ disabled and for those who have qualified for Social Security.
