Dan, I only speak for myself.
1) I believe in prayer and brought both of my children up in my traditional family's church. Since schools no longer hire exclusively Christians nor even traditional family-oriented teachers anymore, if I had to do it again, I'd homeschool me brood. Have you seen
this? Or
this?
2) I'm registered GOP, but its basic thesis on such issues is to obey the rule of law, which is, do not discriminate against other people based on race, gender, creed or color.
3) GOP generally tends to side with states rights to determine privacy issues, and not the federal government with the exception of national treason by an American citizen.
4) The Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade and associated abortion lawsuits legislated from the bench how abortion should be treated. The good thing was, one woman got justice. The bad thing is, that 1,000,000 unborn Americans per annum suffer an excruciatingly painful death every year, and American taxpayers foot the bill for many of them. The Congress refused and refuses to legislate when life begins, except to go with when the child can breathe in most cases, except when the mother is murdered. Then, court and legislatures have determined that the unborn is a real person who was murdered too, only to assure that the criminal doesn't get off if he has a great lawyer. Wusses of convenient outrage, all!
This stuff is just my opinion, gleaned from reading tons of information, and does not necessarily reflect a skilled lawyer's opinion. I'm just a seamstress, retired to boot.
