Here are quotes from Rafah DiCostanzo on various life and family issues:
Expressing her admiration for a young mother who efficiently used a small window of opportunity to have an abortionist murder her unwanted baby: "There was one incident that really stuck in my mind today. There was a young girl, an international student, who was in her twenties, I believe, doing her master's in physics or chemistry. Brilliant, but was going through a very hard relationship with her husband and did not want children from him. She had from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. She had gotten the money, and she had to get back to the house without her husband knowing that she was having this abortion. Everything had to be done within six hours. I can't imagine if protestors were there delaying her or even making her have a second thought about what she was doing." [Nova Scotia Legislature - Hansard - Assembly 63, Session 2 - Wednesday, March 4, 2020]
Describing her own siblings who were killed by abortion as "mistakes": "My mum raised four beautiful children. She was an only child and wanted children but, at times, when mistakes happened, again, I think it was in the back door. I was too young to understand but all I remember is the word 'curettage'. In Iraq, we used the French word for abortion at the time. Luckily, my mum was healthy and did very well."

| 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 |

| 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 |
