Here are quotes from Gary Burrill on various life and family issues:
Irrationally comparing the dismemberment murder of unborn children by abortion, to surgeries that treat organ or other physical illnesses: "It is inconceivable that a person might, under any circumstances, face harassment for accessing services to do with, let's say, prostate surgery, or that a person might face harassment attempting to dissuade them from accessing services related to orthopedic or cardiac or any other surgery, for that matter. This bill simply makes sure that this is not the case for women accessing reproductive health care services in our province." [Nova Scotia Legislature - Hansard - Assembly 63, Session 2 - Wednesday, March 4, 2020]
Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Gary Burrill on 2021.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | survey not yet sent |
| 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 (based on NDP policy) |
| Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers' money in Nova Scotia? | No (based on NDP policy) |
| 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? | survey not yet sent |
| 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? | survey not yet sent |
| 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? | survey not yet sent |
| 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. | survey not yet sent |
