| Bill 24, An Act to Support Gay-Straight Alliances This atrocious bill, sponsored by the socialist NDP government's Education Minister David Eggen, makes it illegal for school teachers to inform parents of their own children's involvement in homosexualist/transsexualist "GSA" clubs, effectively turning schools into hiding places where children can lead sexual double-lives without their own parents' knowledge. The bill usurps parents' primary rights to direct the moral formation and sexual behaviour of their own children by treating parents as the enemy, inculcating distrust of parents and instigating an attitude of collusion between hired school teachers and other people's children, behind parents' backs. This anti-parent bill passed 42 - 23 upon third reading. [November 15, 2017] |

| Bill 9, to transform taxpayer-owned public sidewalks near abortion facilities into NO FREE SPEECH ZONES This unconstitutional, totalitarian law, introduced by the communistic NDP, criminalizes peaceful pro-life expression on taxpayer-owned public property within a radius of up to 150m near abortion facilities. Under this gag law, even silent prayer is outlawed near abortion facilities and people will face up to 1 year in jail and/or be fined up to $10,000. Even freedom of the press is restricted by this law within the No Free Speech Zone. More babies will be killed at the hands of abortionists as a result of these No Free Speech Zones because pro-life sidewalk counsellors are no longer permitted to speak to the mothers entering the abortuary about the choice of adoption, nor to offer support with a crisis pregnancy, nor even to offer scientific information about fetal development to demonstrate that her baby really is a human being. The bill passed by a vote of 45 Yeas to 1 Nay. The UCP MLAs were ordered by Jason Kenney NOT to vote against this horrendous bill, nor even to speak against it during debate. Kenney and many of the UCP MLAs fled the legislature during the vote in order to avoid having to take a stand. [Passed 3rd reading May 30, 2018] |
Abstained under order of Jason Keneney |  |

Here are quotes from Leela Aheer on various life and family issues:
Reacting with typical pro-abortion rhetoric to the US Supreme Court's principled overturning in June 2022 of the infamous 1973 Roe vs. Wade pro-abortion ruling, and indicating her desire to expand "access" to abortion in Alberta: "'It's an American decision, but the idea that that could not bleed into our system is ludicrous,' said Aheer, adding that Alberta has a lot of issues with access, particularly in rural areas, and she would work to extend women's health care across the province." [Fairview Post, 'Aheer lone UCP leadership candidate to condemn U.S. Supreme Court abortion decision', June 29, 2022]
Reacting to the US Supreme Court's overturning of Roe vs. Wade, MLA Aheer falsely states that killing babies by abortion is a "right": "There is a will by people to try and see that laws are being created to create barriers to women's reproductive rights." [Fairview Post, 'Aheer lone UCP leadership candidate to condemn U.S. Supreme Court abortion decision', June 29, 2022]
Revealing her adamant adherence to the cruel mantra that prenatal infanticide is merely a "choice", even as the US Supreme Court finally overturned the unjust Roe vs. Wade pro-abortion regime: "Abortion will happen, regardless of the decisions that are being imposed. The overturn of this decision undermines choice or the ability to get support." [CTV News, 'Here's where UCP leadership candidates stand on abortion and access to it', June 27, 2022]

| 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) | Yes, all circumstances (per public statement) |
| Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers' money in Alberta? | No (per public statement) |

| 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 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 |
| 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 work to repeal Bill 24, the NDP legislation which requires schools to keep it secret from parents if their child has joined a gay pride club at school, a.k.a. Gay-Straight Alliance clubs? | no response |
