Candidate's Comments:
4. Government licensure should have nothing to do with a person's beliefs. 5. Government should not force a religion to do something any more than the government should force businesses nor individuals into required behavior. 6. And no institution should have the power to shut doesn't a person's account. PERIOD 7. Knowing who is donating to what is important. It reduces corruption. Someone who supports a cause that they don't want to be associated with tell you something about that cause. They are supporting something evil. I appreciate person's right to privacy and not be doxed, but supporting charity is something someone should be proud to be associated with not afraid.

8. Why would any parent ever need permission from the government to take their kid to a doctor? 9.10. I don't play identity politics and don't believe if deafferented people into different classes. I am not prestigious. All rights are do everyone equally and no one gets any special rights just for them.

Candidate's Comments:
I'm pro choice but would love to reduce abortion. I'm close to support on #1, but I need to know more. How early is a heartbeat? I'd say that I general support abortions in the first trimester, and would consider limiting the legality of 3rd trimester abortions. People should have an opportunity to make a choice, but from then on out stick to it. However late term medical issues are possible and I am hesitant to tell a doctor and a patient to proceed. I don't like the idea of using tax dollars on something that I consider a religious decision. I do believe that a person does have a right to suicide and understand the significant regulation required within that sentence so that mentally ill people can get help. That issue is more about the terminally ill.
