MLA Warren Kaeding
Saskatchewan Party, Melville-Saltcoats, SK
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-abortion
Rating Comments: In August 2019, MLA Kaeding was chosen to replace pro-life MLA Greg Ottenbreit in the portfolio of Minister responsible for rural and remote health and Minister responsible for seniors. At the time, Kaeding said that, although he is "personally" pro-life, he accepts the invented terminology of "female reproductive rights", which is a well-known euphemism embracing the killing of unwanted babies by abortion (see Quotes tab).
Kaeding refused to respond to CLC's Questionnaire during the 2016 Saskatchewan provincial election cycle, and instead referred us to Sask Party Leader Brad Wall's non-committal, generic statement to CLC that answered none of our questions.
To his credit, in October 2023, Kaeding voted in favour of a wonderful 'Parents Bill of Rights' law that will require schools to obtain parental consent before their children can use opposite sex names or opposite sex pronouns at school. The bill, which was voted into law, also included other valuable protections against LGBT and sexual grooming in the classroom, which has become rampant over the past decade.

| Bill 137 — The Education (Parents’ Bill of Rights) Amendment Act, 2023 In a groundbreaking victory for parental rights and child protection in Canada, the Saskatchewan provincial government passed its Parents’ Bill of Rights, ensuring that parental authority is respected, family values are prioritized over politically-correct / state-approved values, and students are better protected from falling prey to LGBT grooming and woke ideological indoctination. Premier Scott Moe even invoked the Notwithstanding Clause to shield the pro-family legislation from the whims of unelected, activist judges who might try to label it “transphobic”. Bill 137 passed by a huge vote margin of 40 - 12 on October 20, 2023. |

Here are quotes from Warren Kaeding on various life and family issues:
Explaining away his willingness to accept the practice of abortion in spite of his personal distaste for this form of baby killing: “Personally I’m pro-life. But I’m here to ensure that government policy is implemented and we provide care that all of our residents in the province are looking forward to. I’m here to respect female reproductive rights, and I’m certainly not one to judge on anybody’s decision.” [Regina Leader-Post, 'Mini-cabinet shuffle: Ottenbreit out as rural and remote health minister', August 13, 2019]
Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Warren Kaeding on August 13, 2019.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | refused to respond |
| Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion? (note: a surgical or medical intervention, designed to prevent the death of the mother but but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion. e.g. in cases of tubal pregnancy or cervical cancer) | Yes (per public statement) |
| Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers' money in Saskatchewan? | Unclear (per public statement) |
| Do you agree women have the right to be thoroughly informed about the serious health consequences of abortion, the development of the child in the womb and the alternatives to abortion? | refused to respond |
| Will you support the rights of parents to withdraw their children from school classes which offend their moral principles or beliefs concerning abortion, contraception and homosexuality? | refused to respond |
| Euthanasia is the deliberate killing of a person by action or omission, with or without that person's consent, for what people mistakenly believe are compassionate reasons. Will you oppose euthanasia and support measures to promote 'palliative care', the purpose of which is to alleviate pain and enhance quality of life for terminally ill patients? | refused to respond |
| Will you support legislation to protect the right of health care workers who refuse to participate in procedures which are in violation of their religious or conscientious beliefs? | refused to respond |
