Month: October 2012

I oppose civil unions, both generally and specifically (SB 30).” “I support the strengthening and maintaining marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and not redefining or adding to man/woman marriage.” “I oppose adding ‘gender identity or gender expression’ to the protected classes in Delaware’s anti-discrimination laws for housing, employment, and public accomodation.” “I support prohibiting coverage for abortion in the state insurance exchanges mandated by the new federal health care law.” “I oppose using tax payer money to fund Planned Parenthood and other organizations that provide abortion services.” “I support a policy that ensures parental guardian notification prior to the introduction or instructional use of classroom curriculum or materials, whether brought or introduced by school educators, administrators, and officials, or by guests invited at their request, which involve human sexual education, human sexuality issues, sexual acts, family planning, profanity, drugs or alcohol.” “Last, but not least, I support a Delaware Marriage Protection Amendment defining marriage between a man and a woman in the state constitution.” “Now, there will be some among the pro-gay and pro-abortion crowd who will claim that I support them and do not support these Christian common sense principles. Some may even say that I’ve told them that I support them. I am here to set the straight by proving, once and for all, what I stand for.” “When the good folks at the Delaware Family Planning Council and Delaware Strong Families sent out their questionnaire for the 2012 elections, many legislators refused to respond. But I didn’t hesitate. I believe in strong families, and I am proud to make my beliefs public.” “I note that some of you out there are skeptical that these are my real positions on these issues. While I believe that I’ve earned your trust over the past years, I will spell it out for you non-believers. Directly from the questionnaire (it’s a PDF file, so feel free to tagg along):
