We oppose the legalization of sodomy. We demand that Congress exercise its authority granted by the U.S. Constitution to withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from cases involving sodomy.

Regulation of private bedroom behavior on moral grounds is government expansionism.

Random plank

Strengthening Families, Protecting Life and Promoting Health > Protecting Innocent Human Life > Partial Birth Abortion
We oppose partial birth abortion. We recommend that Congress eliminate from all federal court jurisdictions all cases involving challenges to banning Partial Birth Abortion.
Reason:

There is no need to single out partial birth abortions when we have a comprehensive abortion statement in the Right To Life plank.

We should not get into the slippery slope of cherrypicking valid subjects for judicial review.

bad precedent, redundant
