On Abortion: Invest in technology & charity to reduce number of abortions

Q: Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Merced: Allowed or Not Allowed, Abortions will happen unless you change incentives. I rather encourage people to stop donating to political organization and instead to charities to support women during pregnancy to help them choose life. Also investing money into technology to help remove a child safely from the womb earlier will help. These investments in technology and private charity will go much further than any political solution will in reducing the number of abortions and preserving life.

Q: Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which political philosophy best describes you?

Merced: Moderate

Q: Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.

Merced: I'm 100% passionate Libertarian and you can see my record of talking about limited government in over 2000 videos on youtube.com/alexmerced,

On Principles & Values: I consider myself spiritual, via faith and forgiveness

Q: Briefly describe your spiritual beliefs and values.

Merced: I was raised Catholic and still consider myself personally spiritual. I take the lessons of faith and forgiveness that I learned as a child to be some of the most important values I've ever attained in living a successful and fulfilling life.

Q: What in the nature of mankind caused America's Founders to carefully define, separate, and limit powers in the Constitution?

Merced: Power Corrupts; Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely
