20. Should abortion be allowed under extenuating circumstances? If so, what circumstances?

Only God can create life. Only He should take a life, however He also gave us the ability to reason and make difficult decisions. He also gave us His word to help make those difficult decisions. Many situations may require some true sole searching and I hope I never have to make one such as abortion. I don't think I can draw a line in the sand because I believe that abortion is a sin and we have all sinned. Laws cannot forgive sin or make it right.I believe we should NEVER allow abortions just for convenience. And taxpayers should never be forced to help pay for any abortion. This is 2014. Doctors really know when a mother is in grave danger because of pregnancy. In my opinion, that may be the only time abortion should be necessary.

21. Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

I believe strongly in Judo-Christian values and they should be applied to all decisions regarding social concerns for the citizens of Wisconsin and the U.S. They would be helpful in most economic decisions.
