Here are quotes from Alana Paon on various life and family issues:
Expressing her support for abortion in principle, thereby degrading the value of the lives of unborn children to a mere "choice": "It was my choice to have my son, based on my faith and my beliefs, but for someone else that may be very different." [Nova Scotia Legislature - Hansard - Assembly 63, Session 2 - Wednesday, March 4, 2020]
Describing the large number of children born to her great-grandmother and grandmother (i.e. her own great-aunts and -uncles) as an ordeal that these devoted mothers "went through" because of lack of birth control and abortion: "Mr. Speaker, keeping in mind what my grandmother went through, what my great-grandmother went through - I am one of five children and my mom was not on any kind of birth control either, so I am kind of, like I say, the last hurrah. I was 10 years after everybody else - surprise." [Nova Scotia Legislature - Hansard - Assembly 63, Session 2 - Wednesday, March 4, 2020]

| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | no response |
| Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion?

| 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 response |
| 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. | no response |
