His stance on abortion is to leave it up to the states, so that the people can vote on what they want at the local level.
He is actually very PRO separation of church and state.
He believes that, no matter what someone's beliefs or views are, the government has no business meddling with them.
He'll also eliminate the department of education (i.e. public schools) and the IRS, and put allllllllllll of that money (BILLIONS of dollars) back into people's pockets.
Why? So that parents have not only the choice but the resources to decide how and where they want their children educated.
The result? Smarter students, for one. And also the *END* of the irritating "religion in school" debates (on either side), and more personal responsibility for students, and free market competition.
The best schools stay, the ones that don't work go out of business.
