QUESTIONNAIRE*
*Additional information was received after the evaluation was assigned and was not considered in the Panel Evaluations, therefore it is for additional educational purposes only.
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
The only possible exceptions are when: - Pregnancy resulted from forcible rape or incest. - A competent physician determines that the life or health of the mother is in serious jeopardy. - A competent physician determines that the fetus has severe defects that will not allow the baby to survive beyond birth. Even these exceptions do not automatically justify abortion. Abortion is a most serious matter, it should be considered only after the persons have received confirmation through prayer.
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.
Strongly Agree
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Strongly Disagree

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.

I am not in favor of raising the current minimum wage. Raising the minimum wage will have a ripple effect and increase the cost of goods, services and products to end-user.

No

D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
