Gaetz: I am 100% pro-life. We must fight to protect life at every step. Roe v. Wade was a terrible decision that has severely hurt our country. I am pro-life without exception.
Gaetz: America is unique in the world because we acknowledge that our rights come from God, not government. Our Founders created the greatest system of government the world has ever seen. They recognized men are flawed--greed, self-interest, and desire for control--showed the Founders the need for a Constitution that created a system of limited government to protect the rights of all citizens and restrict the powers of the federal government.
Gaetz: My father is a Lutheran, my mother is Methodist. While I've attended church with both throughout my life, I was saved in a Baptist Church during my teenage years. I am a member of First Baptist Church in Fort Walton Beach. The Bible, the Gospel--these are our instructions from God. We are to follow faithfully.
Q: Considering all issues (social, economic, national security, etc.), which political philosophy best describes you?
Gaetz: Very Conservative
Q: Please defend your answer to the previous question by referencing your publicly available track record.
Gaetz: The Tampa Bay Times, one of Florida's most liberal newspapers, once said I have "sponsored (and passed) some of the most conservative legislation in a conservative-dominated Legislature." I consider that a badge of honor.
