Opposes both federal abortion funding & judicial activism.

DioGuardi opposes the CC survey questions on abortion & strict interpretation

The Christian Coalition voter guide [is] one of the most powerful tools Christians have ever had to impact our society during elections. This simple tool has helped educate tens of millions of citizens across this nation as to where candidates for public office stand on key faith and family issues.

Public funding of abortions, (such as govt. health benefits and Planned Parenthood)
Appointing judges that will adhere to a strict interpretation of the Constitution [vs. accepting judicial activism]
