When the mother’s life is in danger and her medical physician believes this is the only recourse. In instances of rape or incest that too should be under the direction of a physician, and in addition the social worker or legal authorities. In the case of incest and/or rape there should be arrest that follow.

Strongly Agree

These should never be accessible over the counter without medical supervision.

Strongly Agree

Planned parenthood should not receive tax dollars for “abortion services.” They offer other services which I do not disagree with their receiving tax dollars.

Strongly Disagree

Currently if a patient believes the cancer has progressed too far with he consultation of the family and physician they can go through hospice for respectable end of life outcome.

Agree

I believe there needs to be a balance. There needs to be a study which takes into account what a business can sustain and what is reasonable. It may mean that there are tiers of minimum wage. It seems ludicrous that minimum wage for a professional

Choose not to answer

I do not have enough information regarding how this practice is currently be used (or abused) to answer honestly.

In the United States, never. They should not have been closed during COVID either. They could be given guidelines such as safe practices, but there was no reason people could not come for council or other necessary services when grocery stores and businesses such as UPS were fully up and running. We know now the detrimental impact the extreme and unbalanced isolation had on people.

Strongly Disagree

We are a free economy and have a right to practice our religion. I realize that there would be some to take this idea to the extreme. If you are the only physician in a 300-mile radius and an individual needs life-giving care, even if their lifestyle is contrary to their beliefs, then the physician should meet that need. No single business should be forced by the government of the United States to produce a product that violates their religious beliefs.

The answer is in the middle. I believe we absolutely need Medicare and Medicaid. These services care for the populations at the ends. When the affordable health care Act became law many individuals who had health care lost their coverage because companies dropped their benefits and pushed the responsibility on the workers. That should never have been allowed. Far too many people that must get their health insurance through the market have egregious deductibles in the thousands.

I believe that schools and public tax supported entities should require vaccinations. I believe that there can be exceptions, but the burden should be on the individual to monitor their child or their health and take responsible action.

Strongly Agree

I am deeply concerned that tax dollars are being awarded to the Gotion battery factory in Manteno, IL which has direct ties to the Chinese communist party. The factory sits on our natural water sources.

The United States has always been an ally and strong supporter of Israel and I believe that relationship should never change. Individuals of Jewish heritage should never be afraid in this country.

Strongly Agree

Absolutely. Whenever you travel outside of the country you must present your passport and go through several layers of security. If you work in another country, you must show that you have your own health insurance and will not be a burden on the country. The borders of this country are our first line of defense. If anyone can just stroll into the country, then what safety guarantee do we have?

Agree

Education is the responsibility of the state. Currently in Illinois public education is funded by property tax. . I do believe that that families need choice and that a portion of dollars allocated to education should be at their discretion. I believe the state has to look at making the money for every child in Illinois more equitable. I believe that schools should not be funded by property tax but rather through income tax or a general commitment to funding every Illinois student equally.

Strongly Agree

None of these ideologies have any place in the curriculum in the schools. We have children who cannot tell time on an analogue clock, they cannot make change, and struggle to read. The ‘scope and sequence’ is published on the school website. If a school wants to deviate from what a school was intended to teach to produce critical thinkers and responsible citizens, then they need to involve parents.

Strongly Agree

Absolutely. A teacher cannot give your high-school child an aspirin; hence, the same should hold true for any other advice or services.

Strongly Agree

I disagree. Europe has discontinued these services during adolescents. I believe these services are the sole responsibility of the individual when they are of age to make that decision and fund their choice. We do not let adolescents drive, smoke, drink, vote, buy pornography. I do not support or even understand why we would let an adolescent make an independent decision to mutilate their body.

Agree

I believe that “marriage” is the sacred, religious, legal union of one man and one woman

I am a bible believing Christian. I believe in the one triune God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I believe that the Bible is the Word of God. I believe that in the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth. I believe in an actual heaven and hell. I believe in salvation though faith in Jesus’s death on the cross to pay for the sins of all mankind.

Neutral

This is our current practice and we use their signature for identity. Yet to do anything else I am required to show a photo id. I would support showing a photo ID. Then you have the dilemma of the mail in ballot, which I believe should be completely done before the regular election.

Strongly Disagree

Then the major cities would forever control the elections. Large cities tend to share ideologies which do not always represent the entire country.

No. I believe the news media has made racism a tool to divide people and start controversy.

Strongly Disagree

Great institutions have brought us hospitals, universities, museums and the like. All societies grow and change, mostly for the better.

Strongly Disagree

Title 9 was a great victory for women to have sports competitions among other women athletes.

D. Climate change is real and we can do more. I traveled to Europe and I am embarrassed in the most simple practices that we as a nation could be doing to protect our environment. Europeans don't use air conditioning everywhere all day long, they have minimal plastic, they have excellent public transportation, they use/consume less and are not a disposable society. We can make everyday changes that would begin the process of overall change.

Nuclear is becoming the most reliable and cleanest. There has been advances with the disposal of the waste. I do not think there is only 1 source. I believe there should be a balance of energy sources, wind mills, solar farms, etc

No

No

I am a minimalist. I believe government should provide the large resources, National Defense, streets, sanitation, water, education, natural resources and parks, etc., The structure for individuals to safely define their lives lives and exercise their religious freedom. I believe in smaller government, not so many layers which we currently have

Conservative

Strongly Disagree

The police department is one of your community programs and provides the "fences" that allow us to feel safe in our neighborhoods. The sense of safety going into downtown Chicago has diminished, and going into crows is even less secure because of all the criticism of our police men and woman who every day put their lives on the line for their residents. Every family of an officer has no guarantee that their loved one will return home. I believe we need more funding for our police departments.

We need a national registry

Yes

Not in the Chicago area or collar communities, We are a state with vast differences. In southern Illinois there may be one police person for 300 miles, and if there is an incident it could be hours before help arrives. We have former military people working in schools in our rural areas that work in schools and have offered to be part of a volunteer defense if the need ever arose. I believe we need to respect that offer and listen to the people in our far south counties.
