QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE

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
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Never
Does the federal government have a role to play in limiting abortion, and if so what federal steps and/or federal legislation would you support?
Yes, to protect the life of the unborn baby. Human Life Amendment to protect the child from conception until after birth.
ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
Lower taxes, huge decrease in the size of the federal government. It should be designed to protect the USA from outside forces, and to regulate interstate commerce.

No

What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
There is no "state church" like in the UK and other countries, the Constitution protects the people of the USA to practice their religion with no interference or obstruction by the government.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
For known threats to public health only with full FDA approval, and proper protocols to protect the public. People have a right to refuse or decline based on religious or philosophical beliefs. The Covid vaccines should never have been mandated.
What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.

Yes, because Israel is the state of the Jewish people, and many US Citizens live there or have relatives there. It is also an important ally in the Middle East, vital for our national defense.
What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
