CORE PRINCIPLES

1. Human life, from fertilization until natural death, is sacred, and the right to life is fundamental to all other rights.

2. Marriage, as a lifelong union between one man and one woman, is an institution of God and a foundation for civil society.

3. Gender, beautifully expressed as either male or female according to God’s immutable design, is an important biological and social reality that must be respected by all.

4. Parents are ultimately responsible for the care and well-being of their children and should therefore be free from intrusive government involvement.

5. The right of conscience and the right to practice faith according to personal convictions are sacred and should not be denied or infringed.

6. The role and jurisdiction of government is clearly prescribed by our Constitution and consequently should be restrained from excessive involvement in the lives of citizens.

7. Human exploitation, in its various forms, is wrong, and governments have a legitimate and important role in curbing these abuses.
