Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Never. Operations, procedures, and medications to save the mother should be done/given, even at the extreme risk of the child, but the life of both parties should be protected at all costs. Even with the high risk of harm or death to the child in saving the mother, God may still save the fetus.

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?
Though the federal government should not exercise much power over the rights of the individual states, when it comes to cases of such extreme immorality such as murder of an unborn child the federal government should implement a ban on the action. I would support a nationwide abortion ban.

ECONOMY
What actions would you take that would allow Americans to retain more of their income and wealth?
I would support the following. Lower taxes and regulations on small businesses. A stronger, value backed dollar. Lower overall taxes. Cut government spending in unnecessary areas and stop giving our money to foreign countries when we need it here.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
The separation of church and state was created to keep the government from telling citizens how they must worship as the Church of England did. However, the founders made it clear that America is a Christian nation. Even George Washington himself stated "It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible." The government should not get involved to tell anyone how to worship. But banning Christianity in places is the equivalent of endorsing secularism.

HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Never. The forcing of a medical procedure on an individual is a violation of their autonomous rights.

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. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
The privatization of healthcare in a competitive market would solve much of the problems we have with healthcare today. The government getting involved in things is many times what causes the problem in the first place. We should provide healthcare to our military and veterans as the healthcare they currently receive is atrocious.

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

D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
“And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” —Genesis 12: 2-3 KJV There is no question as to where Christians stand on this conflict. I unwaveringly stand with Israel and believe that God will honor every promise that He makes. It is extremely important for our nation to stand strong with Israel

What are the causes of decline in U.S. military recruitment and retention?
The politicization of our military and the forcing of woke agendas on our soldiers rather than strengthening our military and focusing on protecting America and freedom. Paying for sex changes and transports for abortions seems to be military priority. The treatment of our veterans is appalling as is the way they treat our current military horribly such as denying exemptions to vaccines because of a political vendetta.

The government should not get involved in homeschooling even by offering tax rebates because what the government pays for today it controls tomorrow. The government does not need to be able to tell parents what they may teach their children.

Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I am a strong Christian who believes that following God's plan for my life is the one and only thing important here on earth. Salvation is found on believing on the Lord Jesus Christ, that he came to earth, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins and rose on the 3rd day to give all who believe on his name everlasting life. Leaving a legacy for Christ and bringing others to know Him is what we are called to do as Christians.
