MLA Selina Robinson
New Democrat Party, Coquitlam-Maillardville, BC
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-abortion, anti-traditional marriage
Rating Comments: In May 2022, reacting to the possibility that the US Supreme Court might overturn the infamous Roe vs. Wade abortion regime, British Columbia's NDP Minister of Finance, Selina Robinson, viciously attacked this perceived threat to the socialist NDP's sacred cow of abortion in her jurisdiction, stating that "Any change to access to abortion will be over my dead body." This kind of inflammatory rhetoric is typical of left-wing radicals, who speak of peace and tolerance until they achieve power, but then resort to violent diatribes and open threats when they feel their power is being challenged (see Quotes tab).
The NDP's official position is pro-abortion. It was the NDP government, elected in 1990, that introduced regulations within the province's Health Act, to force hospitals within each region of the province to provide "abortion services", even where the hospital board of directors had voted against the practice. In 2001, the ruling NDP government issued one of the most radical pro-abortion resolutions ever seen in North America which included increased funding for the medical training of abortionists; enhanced access to abortifacient morning-after pills; and increased fees for abortionists. The NDP also passed the "bubble zone" law t to prevent pro-life protests in front of abortuaries. MLA Robinson has previously served as: Public Accounts (Member). The BC NDP is also opposed to traditional family values. Its constitution includes a "Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgendered Caucus" within the party.

| Bill 27 - 3rd reading of an Act to amend the BC Human Rights Code to add the LGBT-invented phrase "gender identity or expression" as a prohibited ground of discrimination. This totalitarian Bill, introduced by BC Liberal Justice Minister Suzanne Anton, legally invents a new breed of humans out of those suffering from Gender Identity Disorder. The new law threatens to punish people who refuse to recognize or affirm transsexual delusions and alter-egos, considering such refusal to be a violation of "human rights".

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Selina Robinson on May 3, 2022.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | -- |
| 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, all circumstances (based on public statement) |
| Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers' money in British Columbia? | No (based on 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? | 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. | -- |
