MLA Katrine Conroy
New Democrat Party, Kootenay West, BC
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-abortion, anti-traditional marriage
Rating Comments: 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. The BC NDP is also opposed to traditional family values. Its constitution includes a "Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgendered Caucus" within the party.

Here is Katrine Conroy's voting record relating to life and family issues:
Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision | Vote | Score |
---|---|---|
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". [Passed unanimously on July 25, 2016 by all 70 MLAs who cast a vote] |

Bill M 214, "The Fairness In Women & Girls' Sports Act" BC Conservative Party leader John Rustad introduced a private member's bill that rightly sought to keep biological males out of women's and girls' sports teams, and to rein in pro-transgender sporting associations that punish whistleblowers for trying to prevent this invasion of female sports. [Defeated at 1st Reading on April 30, 2024 by a vote of 51 to 27.] |

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 British Columbia? | No (based on party 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? | 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. | -- |
