Vote, y'all. Politicians should never be making medical decisions for everyone, especially when their basis is a 2000yo religion.

  1. Religious Freedom and Government Schools: We demand school administrators and officials to protect the rights of students and staff to pray and engage in religious speech, individually or in groups, on school property without government interference. We urge the Legislature and the State Board of Education to require instruction on the Bible, servant leadership, and Christian self-governance. We support the use of chaplains in schools to counsel and give guidance from a traditional biblical perspective based on Judeo-Christian principles with the informed consent of a parent. Adopted As Amended; 2022 Plank 108

Christian theocracy back at it again. Also they want to make gay marriage illegal again.

  1. Definition of Marriage and Family: We support the definition of marriage as a God-ordained, legal, and moral covenant only between one biological man and one biological woman. Further, we support a traditional definition of family with only one biological man in the role of father and one biological woman in the role of mother. We are opposed to same-sex parenting, intentionally subjecting a child to the loss of their biological father or mother, and other non-traditional definitions of family. Adopted as Amended: 2022 Plank 210
  2. State Authority Over Marriage: We support withholding jurisdiction from the federal courts and nullifying federal Executive Branch rules, orders, or regulations in cases involving family law, especially any changes in the definition of marriage, and the requirement of licensing from the state. Adopted as Amended: 2022 Plank 211
  3. Nullify Unconstitutional Ruling: We believe the Obergefell v. Hodges decision, overturning the Texas law prohibiting same-sex marriage in Texas, has no basis in the Constitution and should be nullified. Retained with No Changes: 2022 Plank 212
  4. Spousal Benefits: We shall not recognize or grant to any unmarried person the legal rights or status of a spouse, as defined in Principle #6 of the Platform, including granting benefits by political subdivisions. Retained with No Changes: 2022 Plank 213

At least they're anti-HOA.

Then we can always be sure to have enough fetus to offer as sacrament unto Baphomet even after we all become infertile.
