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).
Agree
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Under 12 weeks. I wish I could say never, however in this country we must also respect a woman’s right to make decisions for herself. I say 12 weeks as I believe after 3 months the decision has been made to keep the child.
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Neutral
The lives of human embryos created through artificial methods ought to be protected from purposeful destruction.
Choose not to answer
The Comstock Act, which bans interstate transportation of abortion-inducing drugs, should be enforced.
Neutral
ECONOMY
What is your position on the minimum wage?
It is not possible to adjust minimum wage at a rate comparable to inflation. Inevitability we are all going to have the problem that many Americans are already facing. We need to work to strength our nations currency and spend it here domestically.
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Agree
Yes but perhaps we start to look at what rights we should be allowing corporations. Do they really have the same right to own housing or farmland. Perhaps we need to take a look at that.
List your top 3-5 priorities to eliminate government waste.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It means even though I want to be anti abortion I must respect others rights.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
HEALTHCARE
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. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
Can we blend A, B, and C!
The government should keep a database of people with various ongoing medical illnesses to assess the economic burden of treatment.
Neutral
