Social Conservatism 

Safeguarding Our Families 

by Bill Conrad

As a social conservative, I firmly believe in upholding traditional social norms and promoting family values. Here are my ten points that reflect my perspective:

1. I believe in defending the traditional family structure as the foundation of a stable society. A family unit consisting of a mother, father, and children provides a nurturing environment for individual growth and community development. 
2. I am pro-life and believe in protecting the sanctity of unborn life. I view abortion as taking an innocent human life and advocate for alternatives like adoption while supporting pregnant women in challenging situations.
3. Respecting life at all stages is part of my pro-life stance. I believe in protecting and valuing human life from conception to natural death, and I oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide.
4. Religious freedom is paramount to me. I firmly support the rights of individuals and institutions to exercise their faith without fear of discrimination or government interference.
5. Empowering parents with educational choices is essential. I believe in school choice, including charter schools, private schools, and homeschooling, to ensure parents can make the best decisions for their children’s education. CATO Poll: 58% of Americans Favor Vouchers for K–12 Private School
6. I support promoting marriage as a fundamental institution for raising children and fostering stable communities. Policies supporting married couples, such as tax benefits and family-friendly initiatives, are essential to me.
7. I am concerned about the sexualization of culture and its impact on young minds. Preserving a more modest and family-friendly cultural environment is something I strive for.
8. Respecting law and order is crucial to maintaining a safe and cohesive society. I support law enforcement and advocate for policies that deter criminal behavior while protecting the rights of law-abiding citizens.
9. I believe in a balanced immigration system that respects the rule of law while welcoming immigrants who contribute positively to our society.
10. Personal responsibility and self-reliance are values I hold dear. Individuals and families should strive to care for themselves and their communities but without excessive reliance on government assistance.

These ten points represent my socially conservative values, and I am always open to engaging in constructive dialogue with others who may hold different perspectives.
