Missouri Catholic Conference Survey


This Survey only had the options of agree, disagree, and no position. This puts me in some tough positions but if elected I will usually have to vote things up or down so I have decided not to answer the way I want to on this blog.  


1. People should have the right to refuse to pay for abortions, abortion drugs and other items they morally object to in their health insurance plans.

No Position

2. Health care providers should have the right to refuse to participate in conduct that violates their moral and religious convictions, such as performing abortions or distributing abortion drugs.

Agree

3. Churches should be able to sponsor soup kitchens and food pantries for immigrants without the government requiring them to check the legal status of those who come for assistance.

Agree

4. Missouri should repeal the death penalty.

No Position

5. State funding should continue for the Alternatives to Abortion (ATA) program.

No Position

6. State funds should not subsidize research that destroys human life at the earliest stage of development, such as embryonic stem cell research.

No Position

7. Tax deductions or credits should be available to K-12 school parents – public, private and religious – for the expenses incurred in educating their children.

Disagree

8. The interest rate or fees on payday loans should be capped and other measures taken to protect borrowers from predatory lending.

Agree

9. State funds should continue to be available to provide in-home care to the indigent elderly.

No Position

10. Tax credits that promote charitable giving to food pantries, pregnancy resource centers and maternity homes should be enacted.

Agree
