Bio
CLC rating: Pro-abortion
Rating Comments: He publicly advocated for expansion of abortion in the province, which of course means advocating for making it easier to kill more preborn babies. As Justice Minister, he introduced an abortion bubble zone censorship law to criminialize constitutional, peaceful protest within 50 metres of abortion killing centres, even on public, taxpayer-owned sidewalks. He resigned from his position as a Member of the House of Assembly on May 1, 2025.

| Bill 43, Censorship law to ban peaceful protests on public property outside of abortion facilities The unconstitutional "Access to Abortion Services Act" was introduced on November 16, 2016, by the Liberal government under Premier Dwight Ball and was passed into law in December 2016. This dystopian law criminalizes citizens for exercising their constitutional right to peacefully protest the government's abortion policy.

Here are quotes from Andrew Parsons on various life and family issues:
Advocating for more locations where preborn children can be dismembered and decapitated via lethal abortion: “I was surprised that they weren’t offered elsewhere in the province. When it comes to women’s health services in general, you know, women have to be treated equally and not be forced to go to St. John’s.†[The Telegram, 'St. John’s only place in N.L. to get abortion', Oct. 8, 2014]
