The decision between the mother's and child's life should be a decision to be made. This decision should be made between the mother and her medical provider.

Agree

No person (individual or entity) is perfect. Therefore we should not judge a person based on singular actions. Government funds should be prohibited from providing abortion services; however, it's still subsidizing abortions by subsidizing the person. Planned Parenthood provides available services to folks who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford the services. For example, Planned Parenthood helps folks plan for parenthood as well as provides STD testing, cancer screenings and prevention, etc

Strongly Disagree

I disagree as a Christian. Life is a gift from God. Similar to the death penalty, outside of "war," the government should not have the ability to determine when an individual "must" receive redemption. I.e., the government murdering a murderer in saying that it’ll kill the murderer at X date complicate matters when salvation arrives on X+1 date.

We have a budget surplus, and we've done an excellent job cutting spending. But government must invest using its competitive advantages. For example, we must invest in state workers to keep talent, whether teachers, first responders, vocational institutions, and even regulators. Individuals in a career path government jobs too often have to choose between working another job after 5 pm over caring for their family.

Neutral

Depending on what the term “college” means. Generally, I'm open to "experimenting," under the principle of federalism. Stated differently, let the states decide what they want to do. If a state wants to subsidize education through college completely, so be it, and if a city wants to subsidize its community completely.

Disagree

Maybe. It's a double-edged sword. Not too long ago (I know of folks still alive who’ve experienced this), many individuals and businesses found it immoral for blacks to dine with whites. Businesses should generally not be forced to provide services that would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs. For example, pharmaceutical companies shouldn’t be forced to provide chemicals for lethal injections.

Presuming the term "church" means a gathering of believers, under no circumstances should the government be allowed to close churches.; “One nation ‘under’ God” means the government can't cancel God.

We pay the government to provide for its citizens. Therefore, the government should provide for those who can't provide for themselves. “B” most aligns with my view on healthcare.

Government shouldn't be able to require vaccinations to simply exist. When we pay for public schools via tax, we entrust the government to take care of the health and welfare of our students. If the government believes vaccines are helpful and necessary, it should implement mandates. The government should not implement vaccine mandates on "private" schools.

Same thing it did to eradicate the threat of "Christian terrorism" that murdered millions of "American Indians" and Africans under the principle of "manifest destiny." There is no "Islamic terrorism;" rather, there is terrorism from people who are Islamic. Just as “Christians” sin, too.

Don't mess with Jews, because it won't work out well for the aggressor in the long run. it was the Samaritan - the most despised (think "Islamic terrorist") - who was the most neighborly to the wounded traveler. I was hanging with a client who is Muslim, and he asked, essentially, “have you ever heard a Muslim speak badly of Jesus?” The answer: not that I can recall.

Dollars are to the kids in the schools. The kids (parents) are the end consumer who should make the choice. School choice and voucher programs along with the tax credits give parents the opportunity to select schools that would not usually be available for their child. With these opportunities available the parents benefit the most as their child’s learning is expanded and challenged more.

I choose not to answer, but will say that Florida recent legislation (§1003.42(2)(h)) expanded the requirements for instruction that applies to and covers all historical events. Furthermore, “CRT” is not defined as the assertion that institutions in the U.S. are fundamentally racist. But certainly, fundamental U.S. institutions came about prior to the decision of Brown v. Board of Education

C: A and B. We must care for and be stewards of the earth, because this is where Jesus will establish His kingdom. I encourage renewable energy as well as “reduce, reuse, and recycle.” I believe education is key to ensuring all people know the impact of waste and how we can protect our planet.
