Candidate's Comments:
Question 5: While I am disgusted by the thought of a loving and fully capable homosexual couple being denied the opportunity to adopt or foster a child, I don't cherry pick my laws and freedoms. Private, NON-GOVERMENT FUNDED agencies should have the right to do as they wish, with respect to the safety of others. I would combat this in my personal life by encoraging and supporting non-religious adoption and foster care agencies who will allow children to be adopted by same sex couples. I would encourage anyone reading this to look at the rate's of child abuse (physical and sexual) commited by heterosexual couples, and compare those rates with the same crimes committed by homosexual couples. Spoiler: Hetero's are the sinners.

Candidate's Comments:
Professional counseling is provided by a clinically licensed professional who remains unbiased and ethical, or faces the risk of losing their license. I strongly oppose conversion therapy, which I believe is the subject of question 8. Furthermore, as long as parents do not physically, sexually, or mentally abuse their child, they should not lose custody. However, if parents begin to abuse their child physically, sexually, or mentally in response to their child’s coming out as LGBTQ+, they should be investigated immediately, as no parent can ever commit such acts under any circumstances. Lastly, your questions are highly biased and designed to make people like me appear awful, but I’m participating in this survey for fun. Your viewers aren't voting for me..they are voting for Jordan Pace, protector of pedophiles, and executor of women.

I home school my children and I still do not support tax payer money going to private, religious agenices. If tax money can't be used for abortions, then GUESS WHAT. It can't be used for religion. Have I mentioned cherry picking yet? If a teacher does not feel that they should be using a pronoun for a student, they should not be working in a public school. Go to a private school. Schools already inform parents of information on their children. But what you want is for me to say I support teachers telling parents that their kids are LGBTQ. If it will put the child in danger, I don't support it.

Candidate's Comments:
If you want medical freedom from vaccinations, you must also support medical freedom for ALL. You cannot cherry pick which parts of the government you like, and which parts you don't like, and then use those parts to benefit you. I support Roe v Wade and have no shame in saying that. Also- tax payer dollars do NOT pay for abortions. They pay for cancer screenings, preventative care, and birth control. Personal funds (funds raised by non-profits and donors- private money) help to subsidize abortion care for women in need. Get your facts straight before asking me to answer a factually false question. Also- Jordan Pace wants women put to death for accessing abortion care. Super pro-life of him, huh. Last, I whole heartedly support assisted suicide and always have.
