Here are your answers compared to this voter’s answers.
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 › 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. |

8>8 Personal answerYes, require strict background checks, psychological testing, and training |
the Economy › Equal Pay
8>8 Personal answerYes |
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. |

the Economy › Taxes
8>8 Personal answerReform to a flat tax |

8>8 Personal answerNo, targeting Muslims is unconstitutional, racist, and incendiary |
Immigration › Immigration
8>8 Personal answerYes, if they were born here |
Education › Free College for All

Social › Government Mandates
8>8 Personal answerYes |
the Economy › Paid Sick Leave
8>8 Personal answerYes, but the federal government should sponsor this program instead of businesses |
Domestic Policy › Drug Policy
8>8 Personal answerYes, for most but not all drugs |
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. |
Domestic Policy › Gerrymandering
8>8 Personal answerYes |
Foreign Policy › Iran
8>8 Personal answerWar should be avoided. Until they pose and actual threat and show aggression we should strive for diplomatic solutions. |

8>8 Personal answerNo, service should be a choice instead of an obligation |
Social › Women in Combat
8>8 Personal answerYes, as long as they can pass the same physical tests as men |

the Economy › Welfare
8>8 Personal answerWelfare should be reformed. It should be temporary only for those who need it, and those who are on it should have clear steps that they are required to take to get off of it. There are people who would not be able to get off welfare despite their best efforts, but this should be a much smaller number than it currently is. |
