MLA Scott Armstrong
Progressive Conservative Party, Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley, NS
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-abortion
Rating Comments: As a federal MP, Scott Armstrong was a member of a parliamentary committee which, on March 27, 2013, deemed an important private members motion (M408) non-votable, based on trumped-up grounds. M408 merely sought to condemn the barbaric practice of sex-selective abortion: the killing of unborn babies solely on the basis of their sex. In 2012 he also voted against MP Stephen Woodworth's principled Motion 312 to study whether a child in the womb is a human being based on the evidence from modern medical science.

| Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion?

| 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. | -- |
