Counseling should be available to everyone who needs it/wants it regardless of reason. Yes, children need to be protected from danger on various platforms which is why Indiana has Haley's law.

Candidate's Comments:
I believe that private schools should utilize private dollars especially since, in Indiana, nearly 90% of the kids attend public schools, and should have access to 90% of the funds. Parents have a right to know about what is going on with their children because parents are the primary caretakers and legal guardians.

Candidate's Comments:
Tax payer dollars should support health care options for those who need it, particularly in special circumstances. I have not spoken to any constituents regarding assisted suicide. However. I would support medical measures to help comfort terminally ill people, and not necessarily suicide.
