| 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.

Here are quotes from Sonia Furstenau on various life and family issues:
Complaining that access to child-killing abortion "services" is not readily available to all: "Members of the government have made it very clear that they support abortion services as part of necessary health care in British Columbia, but those services are clearly not equally available to everybody in B.C. . . . will this government commit to ensuring that people in B.C. have that equitable access, regardless of where they are in the province, to reproductive health care and abortion services in all parts of British Columbia?" [Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, official hansard, May 18, 2022]
Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Sonia Furstenau on 2024.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | -- |
| 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 (based on party policy) |
| 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? | -- |
| 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? | -- |
| 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? | -- |
| 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. | -- |
