I do not believe the federal government should prevent a woman from
having an abortion, but I do believe Americans should not be forced to
pay for or encourage it in any way. Personally, I believe life begins at
the moment of conception, but I would never want the federal government
to force the will/beliefs of some (or my belief) upon another woman.
Abortion should be neither encouraged or discouraged in any manner by the federal government. It is not an issue for federal executive decision. (Roe vs. Wade was a judicial decision, not an executive.)
Thus, neither 'pro life' nor 'pro choice' groups/initiatives should be funded or supported in any way by the federal government.
Abortion matters must be rightly decided upon only by the people of a given state.
I will uphold the U.S. Constitution which does not authorize the federal government to be involved in the issue of abortion.
Stem Cell Research:
I oppose all federal government funding, regulation, or prohibition of stem cell research be it embryonic or adult stem cell research.
There should be no prohibition on private funding/investment, private research, or private use of stem cells in treatments (since research will be private, progress may increase for researchers since funding will come with no strings attached whatsoever-no regulations).
The American taxpayers should not be forced to fund research they may disagree with, but those who favor such research should be able to freely support it.
