QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
Severe fetal anomalies that threaten the life of the fetus. Threat to maternal health/life. Rape, incest, and any other condition decided between the doctor and mother.
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
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

If churches become place where hatered for other religions is promoted. If churches engage in unethical practices like pedophilia, or unethical financial transactions. If churches interfere with politics, schools, legislative decisions, or judicial decisions.
Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.
Neutral
As a medical professional, my Hypocratic Oath helps me put my patients' needs as a higher priority above my personal beliefs. Therefore in any profession or business, I lean towards providing service to clients, putting personal beliefs aside. This practice is respectful of the clients and is good for business too. On rare occasions though I can imagine certain boundaries being crossed where providing the client services may violate our ethical boundaries.
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?
United States needs to demonstrate strong leadership on the global platform and be a promoter of peace, not an enabler of war.
HEALTHCARE
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.

D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.

If an unvaccinated person can potentially become the conduit for spreading illness to the people that person serves in their profession.
ECONOMY
Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Agree

Full-time workers (40 hours/ week) should be able to make living wages to meet average living expenses, affordable healthcare, and retirement at the appropriate age.

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

Government is a body created by the people, for the people, and of the people, to serve and protect the people. It fulfils that role by making laws, executing them, and making judgments when laws are violated. The government maintains order, promotes general welfare, provides public services, and resources during emergency.

Lean Liberal
VALUES
Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Agree
Children should be provided with a safe environment that allows them to grow to their full potential, physically, mentally, emotionally, and intellectually.
Parents should have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Agree
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.
Neutral
Marriage is a God-ordained, sacred and legal union of one man and one woman. No government has the authority to alter this definition.
Strongly Disagree
Marriage is a commitment of love, and loyalty between two sane, sober mutually consenting adults.
Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.
I value human life from womb to tomb. I value a culture where people are free to believe in any or no God and be treated with decency and respect. I value our planet which we need to respect and treat with kindness as well, instead of polluting and destroying it for short-term materialistic/financial gain.
ELECTIONS AND VOTING
People should be able to vote without photo identification.
Disagree
States should join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact which makes the Electoral College irrelevant.
Neutral
EQUALITY
Is racism a threat to domestic security in the United States? Why or why not?
Yes. There has been a recent increase in racist ideology which is destructive to our country. It is not significantly different from homegrown terrorism.
I agree with Critical Race Theory (CRT) which asserts that the institutions in the United States are fundamentally racist.
Agree
Biological males should not be allowed to participate in women's sports or occupy biological women's spaces whether it be bathrooms, locker rooms, sorority houses, women's shelters, or prison.
Neutral
Evidence-based science is providing new information and a better understanding of the influence on athletic performance as a result of gender transition, and hormonal transition. Decisions need to be made based on the science, thus giving equitable opportunity to athletes.
