REDEFINING MARRIAGE

 

The American family is the foundation of civil society,

and the cornerstone of the family is natural

marriage, the union of one man and one woman.

Condemns the Supreme Court’s ruling in Obergefell v.

Hodges and urges its reversal.  (court ruled same sex

couples have a fundamental right to marry)

 

LGBT AGENDA, TRANSGENDER BATHROOMS, AND WOMEN’S SPORTS IN SCHOOL

 

We embrace the principle that all Americans should be treated with dignity and respect

We support measures barring “government discrimination because of one’s marriage and family.”

Supports “the right of parents to determine the proper medical treatment and

therapy for their minor children”

Opposes Title IX being used “to impose a social and cultural revolution upon the American people by wrongly redefining sex discrimination to include sexual orientation or other categories.”

Opposes “reshaping our schools – and our entire society – to fit the mold of an ideology alien to America’s history and traditions.”

Opposes President Obama’s Title IX transgender bathroom edict.  It is “illegal, dangerous, and ignores privacy issues.”

  

ABORTION AND THE LGBT AGENDA INTERNATIONALLY

              

Opposes the federal government funding abortion overseas and supports restoring the Mexico City Policy, to prevent federal money from going to NGOs which “provide or

promote abortion,” or are complicit in China’s one-child policy.

Condemns the Obama administration for “imposing on foreign recipients, especially the peoples of Africa, its own radical social agenda while excluding faith-based groups.

 

CONSCIENCE RIGHTS IN HEALTHCARE

 

America’s healthcare professionals should not be forced

to choose between following their faith and practicing

their profession.  We respect the rights of conscience

of healthcare professionals, doctors, nurses,

pharmacists, and organizations, especially the

faith-based groups which provide a major portion of

care for the nation and the needy.

  

We strongly support the freedom of Americans to act in accordance with their religious beliefs, not only in their houses of worship, but also in their everyday lives.

Ongoing attempts to compel individuals, businesses, and institutions of faith to transgress their beliefs are part of a misguided effort to undermine religion

and drive it from the public square.

We value the right of America’s religious leaders to preach, and Americans to speak freely, according

to their faith.

The government is constitutionally prohibited from policing or censoring speech based

on religious convictions or beliefs.

 

INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

 

Affirms the importance of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.

Promises “A Republican administration will return the advocacy of religious liberty to a central place

in its diplomacy, will quickly designate the systematic killing of religious and ethnic

minorities a genocide, and will work with the leaders of other nations

to condemn and combat genocidal acts.”

 

GOD IN GOVERNMENT

 

If God-given, natural, inalienable rights come in conflict with government, court, or human-granted rights, God-given, natural, inalienable rights always prevail.

We support the public display of the Ten Commandments as a reflection of our history and our

country’s Judeo-Christian heritage.

Entire platform mentions 15 times.

 

THE COURTS

 

We support the appointment of judges who respect traditional family values and

the sanctity of innocent human life.

Seeks to “enable courts to begin to reverse the longline of activist decisions- including

Roe, Obergefell, and the Obamacare cases.

 

SEX EDUCATION

 

Supports “sexual risk avoidance education that

sets abstinence until marriage as the

responsible and respected standard of

behavior.”

 

EDUCATION CHOICE

 

Will “fight for school choice” and “local control.”

Recognizes that parents, not the government, are a child’s first and foremost educators.

Supports homeschooling, private schools, vouchers, and tuition tax credits.

Encourages teaching the Bible as an elective in public schools.

 

SOCIAL EXPERIMENTATION IN THE MILITARY

 

We reject the use of the military as a platform for social experimentation and will not accept

attempts to undermine military priorities and mission readiness.

Supports “the religious freedom of all military members, especially chaplains, and will not

tolerate attempts to ban Bibles or religious symbols from military facilities.”

Opposes the “Selective Service registration of women for a possible future draft.”
