Does the bill encourage responsible behavior by individuals and families and encourage them to provide for their own health, safety, education or general welfare? 4.) Does the bill increase opportunities for individuals or families to decide, without hindrance or coercion from government, how to conduct their own lives and make personal choices? 5.) Does the bill enhance the power of parents and guardians to rear their own children without excessive interference from the government?[14] |
