QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
As a Christian, all innocent life should be protected. 97+% of abortions are used as a form of birth control. An innocent unborn child should not be forced to bear the burden of the mother's actions. While sympathetic to women who have been raped, the child is the innocent product of such a terrible act, but he/she again should not bear the burden of the rape by being killed. There are many children who are the products of rape and yet his/her life is still as valuable as the child who was wanted.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
I disagree that individuals and businesses should be required to provide services IF the request by a consumer violates their moral and/or religious beliefs. There is a difference between standing on moral and religious beliefs and discrimination. Typically, the consumer is intentionally seeking to cause the individual or business to violate their moral and/or religious beliefs in order to cause hardship to the individual or business.
