| Pro-life | Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| I believe we are all created with certain unalienable rights given to us by God, one of which is life. I will fight to end abortion because I believe life begins at conception. It would also reduce the lasting effects on women�s mental health; therefore reducing the overall cost of healthcare. On the other hand, for example, a convicted killer or terrorist forfeits that right. In certain circumstances, the punishment should fit the crime. | |||
| No | In order to balance the budget, do you support an income tax increase on any tax bracket? | ||
