Issue Position: Social Issues

Issue Position

Marriage - I believe that Marriage, as currently defined, is between a Man and a Woman. The current issue of redefining marriage is not about the term, but the benefits associated with the term as defined in our laws. When two people join together, they do so in the presence of their God. It is man that requires a license/contract between the two. We need to stop the petty arguing about the word marriage and address the true subject which is the benefits associated with the contracted union. All people need to be treated equal. With that being said, Government at any level will not be able to sustain the extra burden of the entitlements without the increased support from the beneficiary. I believe that addressing the benefits will reduce or even eliminate the need to redefine Marriage.

Life - I believe that Life begins at conception. I strongly oppose giving Tax dollars to any organization connected with the practice of Abortion. I believe even stronger that abortion is a decision not made by the Government but by the Mother and Father of the conceived, with the consult of their families, friends and religious leaders.
