QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life deserves legal protection from conception until natural death.
Disagree
I believe women have the fundamental right to make their own healthcare decisions, especially in cases of sexual assault, abuse, or when their lives are at risk. No one should be forced to carry a pregnancy under such trauma or danger. Access to safe, legal abortion and comprehensive reproductive healthcare is essential to protecting women’s dignity, safety, and well-being. We must trust women to make the decisions that are best for themselves and their families.
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).
Disagree
Providers like Planned Parenthood deliver essential healthcare—contraception, cancer screenings, STI testing, and reproductive care—that thousands in our community rely on. Blocking funding would strip people, especially low-income women and survivors, of critical services. Public funds should ensure everyone has access to safe, affordable healthcare, including abortion. Women must have the right to choose, particularly in cases of sexual assault or when their health or life is at risk.

Government should not discriminate against individuals, organizations, or business owners who affirm marriage as between one man and one woman.
