Many entrepreneurs embrace profit-making and charitable purposes. Companies such as shoes seller Toms and eyeglass firm Warby Parker sell products at a profit with a pledge to devote part of their earnings to the needy. The number of for-profit businesses with a built-in charitable dimension has proliferated.

Taxpayer-funded abortion, especially the devil's bargain with Planned Parenthood, must cease immediately. To be clear, that means I believe Planned Parenthood should receive no tax monies of any kind.

American workers and American entrepreneurs can compete with anybody, anywhere if our government will stop making America a cost-prohibitive place to do business.

The best way to put the federal bureaucracy back on a leash is to make it obey the laws the people write.

Unfair and deceptive business practices have been illegal in most states for decades. Yet traffickers routinely use what appear to be legitimate businesses - massage parlors, bars, nail salons - as fronts for their illegal exploitation. It's the ultimate business scam.

President Trump has challenged Congress to reduce the burden on the American worker and to build an economy that rewards honest work. Congress should accept that challenge and craft a bipartisan plan that makes real reductions in what government demands from our wallets.

Abortion is not a right. It is a violent act against the defenseless. It violates every principle of morality and should be barred by American law. Until that day, I fully support bans on partial-birth abortion, third-trimester abortion, and indeed every limit that can receive public support.

I want to know what kind of personal, private, confidential information that Google collects from its users.

Despite what one might gather from the shrill rantings of the leftist commentariat, for whom religion is a sort of disease, religious difference in the United States has rarely led to serious social strife. That is no small achievement, and one that virtually no other Western democracy can boast.

Through the 1980s and '90s, evangelicals sought to turn back the forces of secularization. Groups like the Moral Majority and the Christian Coalition pressed for laws recognizing Christianity's unique place in American life, including laws that would allow prayer in public schools and Christian displays in public places.

People have completely lost confidence in our public officials in Jefferson City.

If you want a politician, then you probably shouldn't vote for me.

I am 100 percent pro-life and have been my whole life. That means I am opposed to abortion at any stage of pregnancy, and I am opposed to embryonic stem-cell research.

The people in Washington are getting rich with our money. Under President Barack Obama, the federal government swelled to record size, and it took more and more of our money to pay for it. Who benefitted? Not Missouri farmers or workers.

We are fighting for an open and fair economy. We are fighting for the consumer. Someone needs to.

It's far from clear that restoring Christian social authority is an appropriate aim of politics in the first place.

As attorney general of Missouri, I am my state's chief law enforcement officer. I swore an oath to uphold the rule of law, and that means fighting violence and oppression wherever it exists, especially violence against the poor and vulnerable.

I said I would be part of the solution in Jefferson City, not part of the problem. And I said I'd take on the culture of corruption.

I will not let the interests of powerful corporations close our economy or jeopardize consumers.

No entity in the history of the world has collected more information about you than Google. My office wants to know what exactly Google does with all of the information it's gathering.

Meaningful ethics reform is vital to restoring public confidence in Missouri's political system.

Where we see corruption and can make a case against it, we're being aggressive.

If people can't expect their government to be honest and clean, they can't expect anything from it.

The swelling epidemic of human trafficking makes a mockery of the law and its protections.

Facts are often complicated.
