Agree

Chemical abortion has a complication rate four times that of surgical abortion, and as many as one in five women will suffer a complication. Medical supervision would be highly beneficial.

To defend the life of the mother.

The fundamental role of our federal government includes safeguarding the rights of the voiceless and disenfranchised. Our nation's history bears witness to this sacred duty, most notably in the abolition of slavery—a moral imperative that demanded the ultimate sacrifice from millions of Americans. Today, we face a similar ethical crossroads. Should we not call upon our elected representatives to extend the same protective mantle to the most vulnerable among us—those who cannot advocate for themselves? Concurrently, we must acknowledge the bedrock constitutional principle of self-defense. Our founding documents enshrine the right of citizens to protect their lives and property, even when such protection may result in the loss of another's life. This creates a complex legal and moral landscape that demands nuanced legislation. Our lawmakers must craft responsible policies that precisely delineate the circumstances under which defensive actions may be justified.

Reduce government spending by auditing government programs for efficiency, eliminate wasteful spending, and reform entitlement programs to ensure long-term sustainability.

Agree

Student loans for colleges and universities should be turned into grants with the expectation of public service after graduation.

Yes

Congress has always considered environmental and social issues, among other factors, when investing public monies to further the national interest.

There is no "one true way." The religion you find that works for you is because your interpretation of what you see and feel and understand as the truth is for you and you alone. It will not be another's truth. Our government, through the 1st Amendment, guarantees that the government will not uphold one individual or group's "truth" over another.

Disagree

The line has already been drawn between generic services and interrupted services. Example: I can sell you any cake, but I shouldn't have to make you one with a message that goes against my religious beliefs. Not selling you generic cakes would compromise the buyer's rights. Making a specific cake that demonstrates something antithetical to your beliefs violates the sellers.

Ethics require an informed choice. If a vaccine can be proven effective, it should be highly encouraged. However, there are too many religious and medical exceptions that make mandated vaccination untenable.

B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.

C) The United States has become too involved in others' policies and should remain focused on issues regarding our own sovereignty unless in imminent danger.

Agree

Where the United States has chosen the military path to global influence, China has opted for a more long-term economic warfare grand strategy.

The United States has a moral and strategic interest in the continued partnership with Israel.

A more technologically sophisticated military needs fewer people. However, a cultural shift within the country and within the military discourages active, long-term participation.

Strongly Agree

Every country must protect its soverign borders. If we cannot control access into and out of our country, then we cease to become a country.

Anyone who is in good health, has no criminal background, and can prove a sound plan to not burden our society should be given a chance to immigrate to our country.

Neutral

The federal government should not be involved in these choices and programs. This is a local and state issue.

Disagree

I do not believe in eliminating the U.S. Department of Education. Still, I do believe that it should be scaled back and States and communities should take primary control over the student's education.

Neutral

A religion can dictate to its members what form and function a marriage will take. However, any religion cannot dictate to those of another or no religion what form or function theirs may take. From a non-secular government perspective, a marriage is a contract between people. From a government perspective, it would be more beneficial to society if every marriage license required a marriage contract that spelled out the terms of the marriage.

Agree

I tentatively agree. We have long determined that children cannot enter into contracts and that they are unable to provide consent. However, parents have the right to raise their children in the ideology they believe in, and the government should not interfere with that privilege. The government should only interfere when the parent harms the child, whether psychologically or physically. That includes the encouragement of doing irreparable damage to the child's body

Disagree

I would not support the use of taxpayer funds for cosmetic surgery of any sort outside that of medical requirements.

Southern Baptist

Disagree

Voting in federal elections is for citizens only. Verification of identity is not an undue burden in today’s society.

Strongly Disagree

Our election system is a system of compromises. The House embodies the principle of democracy in its purest form. Contrastingly, the Senate serves as the great equalizer among states. The Executive branch, helmed by the President, represents a unique hybrid of these two principles. This ensures that while populous states wield significant influence, the voices of smaller states are not drowned out in the selection of the nation's highest office.

Strongly Disagree

Strongly Agree

Neutral

Nuclear and nuclear alternatives like Thorium.

Moderate

I don't have an extremist bone in my body.

I'm not opposed to more seats on the Supreme Court - however, I will never vote for an increase here without an additional increase of Representatives in Congress.

Neutral

This is a complicated issue that involves local community, their priorities and mental health.

First, we develop laws and regulations to ensure that honest people are honest and everyone knows how to operate in a society where we are essentially strangers to each other. Then, we develop consequences for breaking those laws and regulations to keep bad/stupid people from doing bad/stupid things. Lastly, we have law enforcement to enforce the first and second concepts. Support or opposition of gun ownership would need to clearly establish measurable impact.
