Frank Gilbert in 2016 AR Senate race

On Abortion: Only allow abortion for rape, incest, and maternal life

Gilbert: To save the mother's life and in cases of rape or incest.

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

Gilbert: Men tend to naturally consolidate power and then use/abuse it. The Constitution was designed to provide limits on such power and to provide the checks and balances that would keep one person or group from acquiring too much power.

On Principles & Values: Christian Libertarian & believes in Non-Aggression Principle

Gilbert: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only path for me to attain forgiveness and thus salvation. I do not know what path others may have to follow to attain such blessings.

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

Gilbert: I am a libertarian, reflected in my membership in the Libertarian Party. As a libertarian I believe in the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP). That means that every individual has the right to live his or her life in any way they choose, so long as they don't initiate force or practice fraud. The government has no authority to restrict individuals' actions if they are not practicing aggression. This leads to political positions that appear conservative in matters of economics and liberal in matters of individual rights and privacy.
