OTHER INFORMATION

QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

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

Strongly Agree

Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?

None.

Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.

Strongly Agree

The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.

Strongly Agree

The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?

The separation of church and state, anchored in the First Amendment, prohibits the government from establishing a religion (Establishment Clause) or restricting citizens from its free exercise. It's this second part that infringes on believers. Christians ought to have free exercise of their religious beliefs, but these rights are often taken away.

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Strongly Disagree

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

The US / Israeli relationship is absolutely vital to our national security because they are the only democracy in the area, Israel provides stability in the area, and they share our Judeo-Christian values.

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.

C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
