Here are quotes from Jason Stephan on various life and family issues:
Expressing his joy at attending Alberta's March for Life and giving thanks to God for every child, regardless of their ability: "Thank you, Mr. Speaker. May 9 was a good day at the Alberta Legislature. I attended the March for Life. There were many friends there, including some UCP MLAs. That is good. Alberta is a land that loves freedom of conscience. The march was also very good. It was packed. There are many Albertans sharing pro-life values. Now, there were some opposing the march, not acting in respectful ways, but the march organizers gave them no heed. They came to celebrate the sacred gift of children, not to contend. I loved attending. Families are sacred. Children are a blessing. We love them. We love our families. One of the speakers at the march was a mother with her beautiful daughter. She was about eight. She had Down syndrome, Mr. Speaker. With her daughter standing with her, the mother shared her story. Her doctor encouraged her to abort her daughter. That is very sad. Every man and woman is a beloved child of God. All are of great worth. This beautiful mother shared her joy in making the decision to choose the sacred role of mother to this beautiful young woman, how her beautiful daughter was a blessing from God. It is true. A correct understanding of truth produces eternal perspective, not choosing abortion, recognizing the divine worth of all."
[Hansard, Alberta Legislative Assembly, May 23, 2024]
