I am absolutely against elective abortion as contraception. Sex has always had pregnancy as a potential result and murder is an immoral (even as an agnostic atheist) way to escape that responsibility to a new innocent life. This does not include Plan B, however as I do not oppose its use to induce a period. Abortion as a procedure to save the mother's life should absolutely be protected. I find it distasteful in instances of rape and incest and would encourage adoption, but I could not tell a rape victim that she must carry the product of the violation. If an abortion is carried out for a rape and Plan B was not an option, I believe a criminal report should be filed. If the rape charge is proven false, the woman should be charged with murder and false rape report, and have the maximum sentences for both consecutively.

Strongly Agree

I'm not certain I could advocate for the continued and guaranteed suffering of the victim of incurable diseases when they are of sound enough mind to request an end to it. I am certain that government should have no business in promoting it like we've seen in Canada recently.

Ideally, abolishing the income tax would be the best outcome. Government services should be funded like any other service: voluntarily. In all practicality however, abolishing the state sales tax on groceries and reducing fuel taxes would help everyone. By groceries, I mean raw foods and formula. The WIC food list might be a good start for food tax exemptions for everyone. Snack foods and soda would not get that treatment as they are not raw foods.

Arkansas: We have a balanced budget amendment, but I'd like to see charity and voluntary funding replace as much as is possible. Federally: I'm not sure 5000 characters is enough, but bringing the troops home and dropping foreign military bases from triple-digits to low two-digits while cutting the Pentagon's budget by at least half (We are NOT the global police and its time we stopped acting like it), phasing out the insolvent Social Security and Medicare programs, ending the Dept. Of Education (evident lack of improvement since inception), ending all corporate and private welfare. The list of things to cut is almost as big as the federal government itself.

Strongly Disagree

Taxpayer-funded is to say it should be funded by armed robbery under the color of law. No thank you.

Strongly Disagree

The Right to peacefully and voluntarily associate or disassociate should be respected. The Right to protest the business's stated reason should also be respected.

I can't think of a good reason outside of serious fire code violation or acts of violence within or sanctioned by the church itself.

D. Any measure funded by taxpayers is indisputably funded by armed robbery under color of law. Voluntary funding and charity is the only moral solution.

First, I wish it to be understood that I left Tyson Foods when they demanded authority over my medical decisions (C19 vaccine) to maintain employment. I considered it a breach of ethics in any number of ways including a change in terms of employment. They had no authority to do so. That being said, employment is a voluntary agreement and all terms should be expressly announced and agreed to when initiated. No one takes a job without compromises large or small, and everyone must determine their own "line in the sand" as an informed individual exercising their own autonomy. Being prepared to eject must be on the list of possibilities if the situation is intolerable. Schools: parents should take the appropriate steps to protect their children with the advice of a trusted pediatrician. Schools, government or private, should understand they do not own the children. Government should have no say whatsoever. We either own ourselves or are enslaved to the State; there is no in-between.

Stop invading & occupying their countries, overthrowing & funding their despots, and influencing their governments. We have military bases in far too many countries, including the Middle East and Africa. None of them are USA territory. They rightfully oppose that occupation like you would a neighbor setting up a tent in your backyard and arms himself with a rifle...or if ISIS set up a camp in Florida.

Neutral

Agree

Strong fences make good neighbors and migrants should be using "the front door."

Vetted and supported refugees and immigrants who can support themselves while they build their new life. I'm not educated well enough on the topic to give a better answer.

Strongly Agree

If education must be funded at the barrel of a government gun, then the funding should be used as the parents of the child best see fit. As Corey DeAngelis says, the student should be funded and not the system.

Agree

I wish those values had more influence over those that are in government; we wouldn't have the tyranny and bloat we have now.

Strongly Disagree

It is far too much of a political bomb to incorporate into discrimination suits. It can be declared at a whim and has no defined limitations.

Neutral

So long as it is a government license, government dictates the terms when it must serve all citizens and residents. Remove government from the religious institutions if the religions want to define their institutions.

Strongly Disagree

CRT is a ideological coup designed to make Maoist Struggle Sessions an American institution based in reverse-racist self-flagellation to signal virtue for tribal acceptance. It must be called out as such & denied sanction in civilized society. To be shunned by its adherents should be a point of pride. Our nation was formed in the values of self-ownership & liberty. Its one failure was from the time in which it was tried. To call that its feature instead of an unavoidable bug is ahistorical.

Agnostic Atheist, rational empiricist: I want to treat others like I'd want to be treated, and I believe what can be measured and reproduced.

Disagree

Voting is influencing what ideas government enforcers use violence to gain compliance for. The least a voter can do is prove they have the authority to influence the process.

I'd change voting to Ranked Choice Voting with the requirement that None of the Above be an option in all offices.

No.

Strongly Disagree

We gave up "sins of the father" as a prudent judicial and societal concept centuries ago. It was immoral before and it is just as so now.

A. Private ownership has shown better stewardship of the environment in countless different ways, and regulation stifles innovation. Employment of people to build new technology and environmental conservation during that production is the natural outcome of responsible and moral entrepreneurs.

Strongly Agree

To protect the liberties of its citizens.

Lean Conservative

None of those truly fit. I am a libertarian. Government exacerbates nearly every problem it "fixes," but there are traditions and standards that maintain the ability to exercise liberty and make a successful life.

None

No

Lower taxes & spending Education Choice (funding follows kids, not institutions) Defend The Guard Reintroduce SB298 All Gun Laws are INFRINGEMENTS Decriminalize narcotics - reduce non-violent incarceration Medical Freedom - Right to Try (?) End subsidies and contracts for companies with vaccine requirements Nullify bad Federal laws through the 10th Amendment Principle over Populism, Principle over Common Ground

Strongly Disagree

We've seen this allow the policing we currently have. End Qualified Immunity and victimless crimes.

Neutral

None, all are infringements. Full-auto should be available online. Silencers should be in vending machines and part of polite society as both hearing protection and neighborly noise abatement. All guns should be undocumented. The NFA should have been abolished in Miller v. US.

Strongly Disagree

Guns are tools and subject to the whim or restraint of its user. Smith and Wesson is no more responsible for shootings than Estwing is responsible for assault and battery.
