Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
When a mother’s life has been determined, that with high probability, would be jeapardized.
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.

Chemical abortion drugs should not be legalized in West Virgninia.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Option C. Medicaid and Medicare should remain available but no other tax payer funded programs are necessary.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
None…. I do not believe that the Government, school, or employer have the right to force vaccinations. I also believe that people also must live with the results of their decisions.
NATIONAL SECURITY
The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.
Agree
Is the United States' relationship with Israel important, and if so why?
Israel remains our strongest ally in the Middle East. We are bound by historical and cultural ties as well as many mutual interests. Israel is a non-NATO ally whith whom we trade nearly 50 billion in goods and services annually. Israel shares in our commitment to deomcracy and regional stability

The U.S. should do more to physically secure the southern border.
