Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
Social › LGBT Adoption Rights
8>8 Personal answerYes, everyone should have the same adoption rights, regardless of sexual orientation. Only a religious organization should be exempt from following this. |
Social › Abortion
8>8 Personal answerI don't care about abortion enough to be pro-choice or pro-life, but it should be legal. Abortions will happen, legal or not, but if they are legal, they can be done in a safer manner than if they are illegal. |
Social › Gay Marriage
8>8 Personal answer"Marriage" and "civil union" should be treated identically. It can be different from a religious stance, but not from a legal stance, as I firmly believe in separation of church and state. A church should have the right to refuse any ceremony if it is against that church's beliefs, as we also have freedom of religion, but the law should not discriminate against people. |

8>8 Personal answerYes |

Healthcare › Pre-Existing Conditions
8>8 Personal answerNo |
Social › Gun Buyback
8>8 Personal answerNo, increase mental health and background checks instead |
Social › Gender Identity
8>8 Personal answerYes. Nobody should be discriminated against for things that do not hurt others, and someone's personal gender identity does not hurt other people any more than their biological sex does. |
Healthcare › Mental Health
8>8 Personal answerYes, our mental healthcare system needs more funding to provide a higher quality of care and services |
Social › Religious Freedom Act
8>8 Personal answerYes, but the owner must post a sign stating their beliefs and what they refuse |

8>8 Personal answerYes, but I don't believe athletics should be split by gender/sex. If they must have separate categories, it should be based on something more neutral that is relevant to that sport, like size, similar to how boxing has weight classes. |

Domestic Policy › Muslim Surveillance
8>8 Personal answerNo, targeting Muslims is unconstitutional, racist, and incendiary |
Elections › Foreign Lobbying
8>8 Personal answerNo, foreign interests should not be able to buy the influence of our politicians |
Education › Free College for All
8>8 Personal answerNo, universities and colleges need to provide this education to students for a lower cost than they are currently. Also, the interest rates for student loans are outrageous. We should be able to receive an education without going into such crippling debt because of it. |
Education › Student Loans
8>8 Personal answerI support a simplified tax code that taxes everyone equally when they spend money, and I support reduced or absent interest rates for student loans. I don't believe someone should be taxed more just because they have more. |
Immigration › Immigration
8>8 Personal answerYes, if they were born here |

8>8 Personal answerYes, it is severely psychologically damaging to young undeveloped minds |
Social › Euthanasia
8>8 Personal answerYes, if there is no chance they will survive, there is a psychological examination to show they fully understand the choice, and the medical professional is willing to assist. I have some reservations, however, as it is still a person assisting in the ending of another's life. |
