Here are quotes from Karla MacFarlane on various life and family issues:

Falsely equating the heartbreaking death of babies by miscarriage, with the deliberate murder of babies by abortion:  "I don't believe establishing a safety zone diminishes the right to protest and it doesn't prevent people from expressing their opinions. We can't change human nature. However, I believe that in the vast majority of cases, the decision to have an abortion is excruciating, it's difficult, it's heart-wrenching, and no one knows what it's like until they walk in their shoes.
"When a pregnancy is not viable, the termination of that pregnancy is a crushing disappointment, one of the worst days of a woman's life. When a woman experiences a miscarriage and requires medical follow-up, going to the hospital for that treatment is heart-breaking. This bill ensures that they can have access to the services they need in safety and I don't think anyone in this Chamber would want it any other way."
[Nova Scotia Legislature - Hansard - Assembly 63, Session 2 - Wednesday, March 4, 2020]

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Karla MacFarlane on 2021.

Question Response
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? (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) No response
Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers' money in Nova Scotia? No response
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 response
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 response
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
