| 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?

| 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 |
