Candidate's Comments:
I think the case from Ohio with the 10 year old has proven that we can't just say NO to all these abortions. on top of that we have states where they have people who know nothing about medicine are saying what is dangerous to a woman's health. I think it's fine to not have federal money funding abortions. we haven't used the government money for it and I think its fine to keep it that way. I have a fear of being in a state where I'm not the person I should be, losing my mind and everything. I don't want to be a vegetable. if I get that way I want someone to end me.

4) If you don't want to make money then I'm not going to force you to take a customer you don't want. that said you can't tell someone that you refuse to serve them if they want to buy something from you. like if you have a restaurant you can't refuse service to a gay couple or a couple who are a religion you don't like. 5) in the last 2 years I've heard full on lies as to why people couldn't take vaccinations. at some point you have to say NO. 6) when I was at UC there was one spot where you could do protest and political speeches. its safer to do things like that. 7) If you're worried that you'll be attacked for giving money to someone then maybe you shouldn't be giving them money.

Candidate's Comments:
8) I believe that should be left up to the origination to decide these things not a moron in government. 9) if you're a parent of a kid dealing with this I'm not going to stand in your way when it comes to getting help for your kid. 10a) I've seen good workers fired for being gay. its all BS. 10b) I worked with a kid who was in the middle of a change and the company okayed the attacks and bulling of the kid. he was a good hard worker and they pushed him out of the company for no reason other than being stupid.

Candidate's Comments:
11) this is a game played by some to defund public schools. if private schools like the one I went too really wanted more students to go to to learn about god or who even then they would reduce their cost so even poor families could attend. and maybe they shouldn't defund the public schools and then sue them to give them bus services for free. 12) many parents don't want their kids to learn math and Science. they think the Bible is all you need to learn. so no. 13) we can teach history as it is and as best we can for the age group. But I don't think many kids can handle history in 100% truth. Don't lie, but we don't have to go full "this is the Klan, and these photos are what the Klan did to blacks, Jews, and Roman Catholics." we can just tell them that the Klan was evil and full of hate. 14) As I said many parents think the world was made in 6 days because thats what the Bible says. they don't want their kids to hear anything other than that and they don't like to be told that their religion is nothing more than a mythology. the Bible doesn't even have the shape or the size of the ark right.

Candidate's Comments:
15) you are in the medical field. you don't get to pick and choose these things. it's do no harm. But if by not doing this thing you are doing harm then you should be fired. 16) first off the school is only going to be able to give then counseling. the medical stuff is way out of their budget. After that the school should decide what's best. when I was in school I had a classmate who found out they were gay. the school told his parents and his father killed him that day. beat him to death. 17) But parents do need to know if the kid is getting help. unless the help is for damage done by the parent.
