RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
While I don't support abortion as a general rule, I do believe that exceptions should be made in cases of rape or incest, and the decision to have an abortion or not should ultimately rest with the individual woman affected.

2ND AMENDMENT
What restrictions on gun ownership are needed to protect public safety?
I believe that the right to bear arms is a fundamental freedom protected by the 2nd Amendment. The only restrictions on gun ownership that I support are those that prioritize public safety, such as preventing violent criminals and individuals with mental health issues from accessing firearms. Beyond that, law-abiding citizens should be free to exercise their constitutional right to own guns without undue interference. The 2nd Amendment exists for a reason, and we must respect it.
