Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision	Vote	Score
Motion 312: Studying Canada's 400 Year Old Definition of Human Being Motion 312 (sponsored by MP Stephen Woodworth) called for parliament to review Subsection 223(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada which states that a child becomes a human being only at the moment of complete birth.	Yes
Bill C-510, to protect pregnant women from coercion to abort This private member's bill by Conservative MP Rod Bruinooge, also called Roxanne's Law, was a common sense bill to protect women and their unborn children from coercion to abort. Abortion coercion by boyfriends, husbands, relatives and even physicians is very common in Canada. Unfortunately, the bill was defeated in 2nd reading by a vote of 97 to 178. [December 15, 2010]	Absent	--
Bill C389, to add "gender identity" and "gender expression" to the Human Rights Act and Criminal Code. This radical bill would endanger women and children by creating a legal right for men who "identify" as the opposite sex, to use female public washrooms. Male sexual predators or peeping toms will certainly use this as an opening to enter the girl's washroom. It is unconscionable for legislators to put women and children in such a compromising position. It will also create a legal nightmare for businesses that will be required to allow staff to cross-dress in the work place. Furthermore, this harms youth by cooperating with mental illness and encouraging sexually confused young men to perceive themselves as women, and vice versa. [November 2, 2010, Justice Committee Vote]	No
Bill C-384, Legalize euthanasia & assisted suicide A horrible bill that would have given doctors permission to kill people who are seriously ill but not dying and who in fact, have a treatable condition. Doctors would also have been permitted to kill people suffering with treatable chronic depression. This bill was defeated on second reading, 59 votes in favour to 228 votes Against. [Apr 21, 2010]	No
Survey on awarding Order of Canada to Henry Morgentaler Do you agree with awarding the Order of Canada to abortionist Henry Morgentaler? (July 2008)	Opposed
C-484, Unborn victims of Crime Act Common sense legislation that would allow criminal charges to be laid in the death or injury of an unborn child when the childs mother is the victim of violent crime. This cannot be considered a "pro-life" bill because it specifically excludes deliberate acts of abortion by the woman. Nonetheless, it is a good "pro-family" bill because it protects women and their wanted children from violent crime. (Mar5/08)	Supported
Motion 12, Re-open debate on definition of marriage [Dec 2006]	Yes
C-313, Age of Consent child protection bill Raised the age of consent for sex from 14 to 16 [Sep 28, 2005]	Yes
M-221, child protection motion To raise the age of consent for sex from 14 to 16 [Sep 28, 2005]	Yes
C-38, A bill to abolish the true definition of marriage [June 28, 2005]	No
Bill C389, 3rd reading of the "Transsexual Bathroom Bill" This radical bill sought to add "gender identity" and "gender expression" to the Human Rights Act and Criminal Code. If passed, the bill would've endangered women and children by creating a legal right for men who "identify" as the opposite sex, to use female public washrooms. Male sexual predators or peeping toms would have certainly used this as an opening to enter the girl's washroom. It is unconscionable for legislators to put women and children in such a compromising position. It would also create a legal nightmare for businesses that would be required to allow staff to cross-dress in the work place. Furthermore, this would harm youth by cooperating with mental illness and encouraging sexually-confused young men to perceive themselves as women, and vice versa. It will also open the door for radical activists to insist that transsexualism must be inserted in school curriculum and taught in classrooms as something that is normal, natural and healthy. This bill passed final reading in House of Commons by a 143-135 vote on February 9, 2011, but then, thankfully, died in the Senate when a federal election was called.	absent or abstained	--

Quotes

Here are quotes from Rona Ambrose on various life and family issues:

Stating her support for legal abortion:  "Stealing a quote from someone I admire very much, Hillary Clinton, I believe abortion should be safe, legal and rare" [CTV news, Jan. 28, 2013, http://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/25-years-on-canadians-don-t-want-to-reopen-debate-on-abortion-ambrose-says-1.1132359]

This statement suggests that she supports the legal right to kill children in utero, even employing the abortion industry's euphemestic language:  "On abortion, there will be no private member's bill, no legislation ever supported or introduced in a Conservative government… the Conservative government will never interfere with a woman's right to choose." [CTV, Mike Duffy Countdown, Jan. 13, 2006]

On the inviolability of parental authority:  "Parents, and not the federal government, are in the best position to determine which type of child care best suits their children." [LifeSiteNews.com, Feb 16 2005]
