QUESTIONNAIRE
RIGHT TO LIFE
Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.
Strongly Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
Loeffler has co-sponsored four bills to protect the unborn. She asserts that she will be a fierce opponent of abortion and would support legislation to limit abortions. Loeffler voted yes on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. "I support Governor Kemp's "Heartbeat Bill" and "will back Senator Lindsey Graham's 20-week abortion ban in Washington. Every life is a blessing. Every life has value."
Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
Strongly Agree
I support the Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, which requires health care providers to provide life-saving treatment for infants who survive an attempted abortion.
Strongly Agree
Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?
Did not answer
RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
Governments should not discriminate against individuals, organizations or small businesses because of their belief that marriage is only a union of one man and one woman.
Strongly Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
She believes that legislation should be in place to protect one's ability "to act according to our religious beliefs. I believe that people of faith should be free to make statements without fear of persecution."
Religious liberty is at risk in the United States and deserves the highest level of protection in the law.
Strongly Agree
iVoterGuide Notes:
“I think people of faith should be protected. And we should all be able to act according to our religious beliefs.”
I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

HEALTHCARE
It is the government’s responsibility to ensure everyone has health insurance.
Strongly Disagree
iVoterGuide Notes:
Socialism, and its societal and financial costs, is a very real threat to the freedoms that allow us to prosper as a country. The Green New Deal and Medicare for All represent insidious attacks on the unparalleled liberty that we as Americans enjoy today--and that others in countries around the world are fighting to gain.

iVoterGuide Notes:
For nearly three decades, Kelly Loeffler was in the private sector--growing jobs and economic opportunity in our state and beyond. She knows that low taxes empower innovators and business owners to grow, expand, and invest. Kelly supports policies that make our state and country the best place for business. "Socialism, and its societal and financial costs, is a very real threat to the freedoms that allow us to prosper as a country." She championed President Trump's USMCA agreement, which will create jobs and economic opportunities in Georgia and throughout the nation. In order to balance the budget, she does not support an income tax increase on any tax bracket.
How would you guarantee Social Security benefits for future generations?
Did not answer
