OTHER INFORMATION
QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Under what circumstances should an elective abortion be allowed?
If a woman's life is at risk, or if there is a need to intervene in the pregnancy, I believe that is between a woman and her doctor. Also, any conception that occured during non consensual sex I believe the woman should be able to make a choice for herself. I don't believe anyone should just to be able to receive an abortion just because a child could be "inconvenient".
“Women’s Right to Know” informed consent materials must include information about Abortion Pill Reversal.
Agree
I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.
Agree
I am very split on this issue, but ultimately believe if a person is terminally ill, and in the right state of mind to make a decision, then it should be between them and their doctor. I have witnessed numerous people go through brutal journeys and incomprehensible suffering, and I don't believe it is fair to tell them what they have to go through.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Neutral
ECONOMY
Should environmental and social issues, like ESG (environmental, social, and governance) ratings, be used as criteria in deciding where to invest public monies?

Free enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system.
Strongly Agree

Individuals and businesses should be required to provide services even if it would violate their moral and/or religious beliefs.

Under what circumstances can government close churches?
Government shouldn't be allowed to close churches or businesses under any circumstances
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.

C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D) Taxpayer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be defunded.
B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options.
Under what circumstances (if any) should a government, school, or employer be allowed to require vaccinations?
Vaccines that have eradicated diseases and have been proven to be effective should be highly recommended and encouraged, but the government and employers shouldn't not be allowed to force vaccinations upon anyone.

The Chinese Communist Party poses serious military, cyber security, intellectual property, and global economic threats to the United States.

EDUCATION
The state should fund education by allowing dollars to follow the child through programs which protect parents' freedom to choose their child's school – public, private, or homeschool.

Children are the most vulnerable members of society and must be protected from abuse, including gender ideology, grooming, and bodily mutilation.
Strongly Agree
Parents have the right to make decisions for their minor children.
Neutral
Parents shouldn't be able to make decisions that are harmful or permanent to their children.
Taxpayer funds should be used to provide gender transition services.

ENERGY & ENVIRONMENT
Which comes closest to your view? (Select all that apply) A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy. B) Stricter environmental laws and regulations are worth the cost. C) Stricter environmental laws undermine U.S. energy independence and deter development of reliable electricity sources. D) Climate change is real and requires urgent policy action.
E) Stricter environmental laws are necessary to protect from corporations and people that don't care about the harm they do to the water supply and our natural resources, but should studied better as what is and is not needed for proper regulation.
What do you believe is the most reliable energy source that will supply the growing demand for electricity?
At the moment, gas and coal are the only purely reliable source until we further develop some of our other sources. Solar, wind, and geothermal are promising but we need better development before they become reliable.
