QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Strongly Agree
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
I think chemical abortion should not be allowed, very dangerous.
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
If it could endanger the life of the mother. That is usually determined in a hospital.
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?
No. It is a State issue now
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
What does "separation of church and state" mean to you?
It is known as the establishment clause in the first amendment. It prohibits all levels of government from either advancing or inhibiting religion. Not allowing a political leaders religious beliefs trample the constitutional rights of others because of their religious or non-religious beliefs may differ from his/hers.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Strongly Disagree
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. B) The United States should selectively help countries trying to grow democracy and fight tyranny. C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger. D) The United States should stay out of foreign conflicts completely.

The executive branch of the Government turned its back on the military and the military turned its back on its soldiers.
HEALTHCARE
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Schools have required certain vaccinations. It works. The government has required vaccinating individuals migrating from other countries legally. it has worked. Covid-19 was a disaster. No GOV mandates on US citizens
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.
C.

Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
