Here are quotes from Murray Ryan on various life and family issues:

In an email reply to CLC’s provincial election survey, Mr. Ryan gave a response to our questions on abortion, suggesting that he considers the status quo of abortion-on-demand, wherein 100,000 children per year are killed with State approval, a settled issue that he prefers to keep closed:  "I know this is something important to many people (on both sides of the issue). It’s obviously a delicate balance of rights. It’s an issue that I feel has been decided by the Government of Canada and the Supreme Court and not something we will be weighing into in this campaign." [Emailed reply to provincial survey on August 23, 2019.]

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Murray Ryan on August 23, 2019.

Question Response
Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? chose not 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) chose not to respond
Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers' money in Nova Scotia? chose not to respond
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? chose not to respond
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? chose not 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? chose not to respond
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. chose not to respond
