QUESTIONNAIRE
DERECHO A LA VIDA
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not be a resource for instruction or services in the school.

Abortion should not be allowed in any circumstance, except for medical emergencies that are in line with the "Heartbeat" bill that was passed by the Legislature and signed into law by the Governor.

We provide the opportunity through education to prepare young people for a livable income, but it is a personal responsibility to acquire a livable income.

Public education should be provided for our children, but every cent of taxpayer money should be accounted for and used efficiently towards strong academics for our children.
