Here are quotes from Bob D'Eith on various life and family issues:
Crowing over his NDP government's anti-life enactment of a policy to fund free contraceptives with taxpayers' money: "As an ally for gender equity, I’m really proud of the work that our government has done in this area. For example, starting on April 1, British Columbia will be the first jurisdiction in Canada to make prescription birth control free to its residents... Including oral contraceptives, IUDs and plan B pills. Of course, male vasectomies were available for years. Go figure. It was wonderful to see our entire caucus and the women of the opposition cheer this announcement when it was made in the House. At a time when women’s reproductive rights are being challenged to the south and by certain Canadian parties, this move is a clear indication by our government that we support a woman’s right to control her own reproductive rights." [Hansard, Legislative Assembly of BC, March 6, 2023]

Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion?

Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers' money in British Columbia? | No (based on party policy) |

Will you protect the rights of parents to educate their children according to their faith in matters of moral principles and beliefs concerning abortion, contraception and homosexuality? | No (based on party policy) |
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? | No (based on party policy) |
Will you oppose euthanasia and instead support measures to promote “palliative care”, the purpose of which is to alleviate pain, and enhance the quality of life for terminally ill patients and those with disabilities? *Euthanasia is the direct and intentional killing of a person by action or omission, with or without that person’s consent, for what people mistakenly believe are compassionate reasons. | -- |
