Candidate's Comments:
American law is selective when it comes to Quality of Life. Republican beliefs pursue the happiness of the individual with respect to the boundaries of society. A baby that lacks the capacity to declare in spoken word that they prefer to live have as much right to exist as the pregnant mother whose decisions are based on the limits of technology. I will ask congress to call on Science to make a mechanical uterus, thus protecting the life of both mommy and baby. Kennedy willed us to the Moon. I will us to the womb. I also believe that if a terminally ill person seeks to enter heaven versus remain in pain on Earth, told by healthcare experts that there's nothing more they can do, their right to be with God sooner than later shall be heard.

Playing God is a path to disaster. Born a boy, use the correct restroom. I don't care what Bruce Jenner did. Point 9 - Licensed counseling is typically good. The brain is not fully formed until well after grade school.
