QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
I don't believe abortion should be allowed in any circumstances; even when the health or life of the mother is at risk, the baby can be delivered and given support rather than killing him or her.
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.
Choose not to answer
I don't believe chemical abortion drugs should ever be used.
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
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree

I believe minimum wage laws interfere with the free market system.

No

Under no circumstances at all, should the government close churches.

D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
C, and Medicaid and Medicare programs should be more limited than they currently are.
