2. Should the N.C. General Assembly authorize non-tribal commercial gambling casinos in North Carolina? N

4. Should North Carolina voters be required to show a photo ID in order to vote in North Carolina? Y
5. Should the N.C. General Assembly legalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes? Y* One must be careful in this matter. Under close medical supervision: yes. Opening the door to subjective self-diagnosis: no.
6. Should state nondiscrimination laws include "sexual orientation" and "gender identity" as protected classifications? N
7. Should biological male students who identify as female be allowed to participate on female sports teams? N* No amount of subjective feeling about one's self is greater than biological reality.
8. Should organizations that provide abortions be allowed to receive state funds? N
9. Should North Carolina law allow a medical professional to assist another person in ending their life? N* Moves in this direction invariably lead to pressure being placed on weak and vulnerable people to end their lives against their will.
10. Should a health care practitioner, who is present at the time a child is born alive after a failed abortion attempt, be required by state law to exercise the same degree of skill, care, and diligence to preserve the life and health of that child as would be expected for any other child born alive at the same gestational age? Y* Whatever one believes about abortion, once a child enters the world, he or she becomes a patient separate from mother or father.
11. Should North Carolina public schools be required to allow students to voluntarily participate in “released time” religious instruction during school hours—provided that it takes place off-campus, with parental consent, and at no cost to the public school unit? Y
12. Should N.C. law (G.S. §90-21.5) continue to allow minors to consent to the treatment of venereal disease or other reportable communicable diseases, pregnancy (not including abortion), abuse of controlled substances or alcohol, and emotional disturbance, without parental consent? N* Parental rights far transcend the desire for a minor to keep matters hidden from their view.
13. Should churches and other qualified religious organizations continue to receive tax-exempt status? Y
14. Should a person’s religious beliefs influence the decisions they make while serving in public office? Y* Every legislator's world view informs his or her approach to matters; such is unavoidable.
15. Should the number of terms a state legislator may serve in the North Carolina General Assembly be limited? Y
