As it is currently written, YES.
17. Were you a supporter of NH HCR6, a resolution affirming state's rights based on Jeffersonian principles?

21. What do you think is our most pressing family/social issue? (defense of marriage act, abortion etc.) What will you do to address it?

Both the US & State Constitutions can be changed. So, they are fluid, BUT, once they are written, they become an absolute document.

In the case of rape, incest, & medical need of the mother. “Pro choice” in the case as a form of birth control “Pro Life”.

Aliens are generally from outer space, Sooo, I’m not sure how to even chat with them. Illegal immigrants are Illegal!
25. Do you believe the stimulus bill is working and how?
Again, there is no quick answer to this question. Time will tell us all if it worked. Consider this thought from former President Ronald Reagan: “Anything earned fast, is lost fast”.
