A woman and her doctor need to be the ones who decide if an elective abortion is necessary. When a woman of any age is raped or has a non-viable fetus that endangers her health, laws with no exceptions are simply cruel.

If an abortion drug has a high rate of side effects or safety issues, then an in-person consultation may be needed. If an abortion drug has a low rate of side effects or safety issues, then it should be available over the counter.

Planned Parenthood services are approximately 85 to 90% cancer screenings and 3% abortion services. For the sake of women's health, Planned Parenthood should receive taxpayer funds and grants to provide services that women could not afford elsewhere.

Death with dignity should be an option for people with a terminal medical condition that a doctor validates. Forcing people to live in intense pain for months with no real quality of life while they slowly die is not compassionate.

Free enterprise allows people to create a business, follow their dreams, support their children, and is a path to home ownership and owning private property for many people. Free enterprise allows motivated people to help solve the problems that keeps our economy productive and at the forefront of innovation.

The minimum wage is essential to ensuring that workers are compensated with a living wage and needs to be adjusted annually to keep pace with inflation. The state should set a statewide standard that local counties may increase where necessary.

Turning an intentional blind eye to the environmental impact of business decisions is irresponsible, creates a flawed analysis that doesn't take into account all costs, and leaves our children with even larger problems to solve. All environmental and social issues need to be fully considered to make an honest evaluation and the best long choice.

None that I know of. If there is an eminent domain issue regarding property at a specific location, then the same rules for compensation apply equally to churches as for individuals. Freedom of religion protects churches from being a target of government persecution.

Individuals and private businesses have a right to refuse to serve people. This differs from government employees who are absolutely required to lawfully serve the public regardless of any moral or religious beliefs the worker may have.

B. A government option plan with defined benefits should be available to set the standard for health plans and any number of private option plans that offer their own benefit choices and price points should also be available. This provides choice without forcing people into a 'one size fits all' plan.

Vaccines with long term documented safety records such as polio, measles, smallpox, etc. can and should be required for school or some employers. Vaccines without a long-term safety record or under an emergency authorization should not be required.

China aggressively pursues its own interests which benefit from degrading our military capabilities, taking advantage of our cyber security deficiencies, and stealing intellectual property for its own economic benefit. Strengthening the security of all our computer systems should remain a top priority to defend against their advanced persistent threat.

The United States has a very important role in trying to establish and maintain peace in the Middle East. With the United States selling billions of dollars in weapons to Israel, our decisions have significant consequences for how both diplomacy and the military are used to address the problems in the region.

Public dollars should only fund educational programs that meet the same public educational standards regardless of the type of school. Allowing public tax dollars to flow to private or charter schools that do not meet the same educational standards hurts children, especially when poorly run charter schools abruptly close in the middle of the school year. When public dollars flow away from public schools, it weakens the public education system for every student that remains.

Children must absolutely be protected from sexual, physical, or emotional abuse and remain safe from grooming by sexual predators. A child's sexual identity and related issues are best handled on an individual basis by their family.

Our custody and paternity laws often unfairly exclude fit, willing, and able parents from being equal participants in their children's lives. While the Supreme Court of the United States has recognized that “the liberty interest…of parents in the care, custody, and control of their children is perhaps the oldest of the fundamental liberty interests recognized by [the] Court.”, many unmarried parents have no legal custody or the ability to make decisions for their children by default.

Consenting adults should have every legal protection to love and marry the person of their choice. A number of religious denominations feel differently about this issue and the government needs to respect the freedom of these differences. One religious perspective should not be legally imposed on every individual.

The winner of the United States presidential election should be the candidate that wins the popular vote. The electoral college distorts our politics and creates an incentive for candidates to only focus on battleground states that have an outsized influence to elect candidates.

The Southern Poverty Law Center has documented hundreds of domestic extremist groups in the United States with many of those founded on racist ideals. The goal of many of these groups is to conduct terrorist attacks to accelerate a race war. These 'accelerationists' pose a threat to society as they seek to create a cycle of violence by targeting groups likely to retaliate.

I do not believe that every institution in the United States is fundamentally racist. There have been many racist laws that have had long lasting and systemic impacts on groups of people. One example is the 'redlining' laws that prevented minority groups from home ownership in advantaged neighborhoods. The long-term impacts of denying children from growing up in good neighborhoods with good schools impacts those families for generations.

Trans women should be able to participate in society as women without undue legal persecution and fear. Biological males posing as women to gain immoral access to women's bathrooms, locker rooms, and other private spaces can and should be prosecuted under current laws. Dangerous situations are created when trans women are forced to use male bathrooms resulting in significant confusion and otherwise avoidable conflict.

D - Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action because there is no economy on a dead planet. We need to protect our environment because a world in which our glaciers melt, oceans rise, and coastal areas flood will force an estimated 630 million people to migrate by the year 2100. Competition for the remaining land resources will result in worldwide geopolitical instability. Our reliance on fossil fuels will force our descendants to face the worst of the predicted consequences.

I do not support reducing police funding overall because our police are already understaffed and do not respond to many types of property crimes and theft. I do question any funding that provides surplus military equipment or trains local police departments in military tactics and techniques. Our local peace keeping police forces need additional funding for community resource officers and ongoing training to safely de-escalate situations which will increase public safety.

Background checks on all gun purchases should be required to ensure guns are not purchased by felons, fugitives, mentally ill, or other prohibited people. Legal gun owners may have their weapons temporarily seized if an "extreme risk protection order" determines they are danger to themselves or others. Gun owners found unsafely storing or handling weapons should need to attend and pass a state approved and court mandated training program to teach gun safety to reduce the risk of accidents.

Police trained school resource officers should have access to firearms. The risk of accidents increases with untrained and/or inexperienced teachers mishandling or losing control of a firearm. Putting guns in thousands of classrooms will result in more guns being used in more circumstances and resulting in more shootings.
