QUESTIONNAIRE*
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Neutral
I’m pro-life. Federal, state, and local government should not receive funds for abortion.

I'm pro-life.

With regard to America's foreign policy, which view most closely resembles yours: A) The United States should intervene whenever freedom is threatened.
