The government does not get to interfere in Religious activities. What does 'separation of church and state' mean to you? I promise to protect the freedom of Christians to share the Gospel and to practice Biblical principles.

The only action we can take is to totally and fundamentally restructure social security to be individually held and privately managed accounts. It is insolvent and will stop paying out in 2035.

It is the governmentвЂ™s responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income.ДЇree enterprise and the right to private property are essential elements of a productive economic system. I am open to eliminating all restrictions on a womans ability to get any and all contraceptive procedures, devices, or medications at any age with no restrictions at all.

Rape, incest, and the mother's life being in danger. Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed? 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. Human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage until natural death.ДЄbortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive taxpayer funds or grants from federal, state, or local governments.
