Here is Derek Sloan's voting record relating to life and family issues:
| Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision | Vote | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Bill C-233 - 2nd Reading, to criminalize sex-selective abortion. This principled bill, introduced by pro-life Conservative MP Cathay Wagantall, sought to protect all babies in the womb from being killed by abortion specifically because of their sex. Sex-selective abortion is typically committed in cultures that favour male children over female, and is a form of femicide. Despite support from 68% of Conservative Party MPs for this modicum of protection for the unborn, Bill C-233 was defeated on June 2, 2021 at 2nd Reading by a vote of 248 to 82, with all attending members of the rabidly pro-abortion Liberal, NDP, Green, and Bloc Québécois parties voting unanimously against it. |

| Bill C-10 - 3rd Reading, to establish totalitarian Internet Censorship This legislation by the Justin Trudeau Liberals is reminiscent of the actions of past Communist and Nazi regimes to eradicate the free speech rights of the Party’s political or ideological opponents, and thus establish a total dictatorship. Bill C-10 would impose government censorship over the internet, allowing the Liberal government to censor any conservative or Christian speech with which Justin Trudeau disagrees. The Trudeau Liberals would achieve this by placing the entirety of the Canadian internet under the bureaucratic auspices of the CRTC (Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission). The CRTC will then regulate the internet’s content for diversity, prioritizing “Canadians from racialized communities and Canadians of diverse ethnocultural backgrounds, socio-economic statuses, abilities and disabilities, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and ages.” This would apply both to websites and social media posts. With the eager complicity of the NDP, Bloc Québécois, and Green parties, Bill C-10 passed 3rd Reading by 196 Yea votes to 112 Nay votes on June 22, 2021. |

| Bill C-6 - 3rd Reading, to criminalize parents, psychotherapy & spiritual guidance for unwanted sexual feelings Vote on taking away the right of people who experience UNWANTED gender identity confusion or homosexual attraction to be able to obtain clinical therapy or pastoral counseling to help them live according to their faith or to overcome the unwanted sexual feelings. This unconstitutional bill also jails parents up to 5 years for providing body-affirming counselling to their sexually-confused children, or for discouraging a gay lifestyle in contradiction with the family’s religious faith. The totalitarian bill passed 3rd Reading by a vote of 263 to 63 on June 22, 2021. |

| Bill C-7 - 4th Reading, to expand euthanasia to target more vulnerable people Vote on making it easier for patients to be killed by their doctors by expanding the definition of those eligible to access medical murder. Bill C-7 would eliminate even the "safeguard" of a waiting period prior to a euthanasia killing being carried out, and would reduce the number of witnesses required to observe a third party signing a euthanasia request from two witnesses to only one. In addition, Bill C-7 would not require the immediate consent of persons presently incapable of communicating but who had been previously approved for euthanasia; and would also make those whose death is not even reasonably foreseeable eligible to be killed if they experience what they subjectively consider to be "intolerable" physical or even psychological suffering. After the House of Commons passed Bill C-7 at 3rd Reading in December 2020, the Senate reviewed the bill and, incredibly, made the bill even worse by amending it to permit the killing of non-communicative patients who had previously given advance directives concerning euthanasia (even years before), and to allow the assisted suicide of people experiencing mental illness ALONE, without any physical health problem or ailment whatsoever. Although the final passage of the Bill in the House of Commons at 4th Reading rejected the terrible "advance directive" amendment by the Senate, it did accept the evil principle of assisted suicide for the mentally ill who are not dying or even experiencing any physical suffering. Bill C-7 brings the Trudeau Liberals' euthanasia fetish one step closer to suicide-on-demand. This death-liberalization bill passed 4th Reading by a vote of 180 to 149 on March 11, 2021. |

Here are quotes from Derek Sloan on various life and family issues:
Confirming his total commitment to protecting the family as the bulwark of Canadian society and conservative values:
"Families are the building blocks of our society.
There is no more important principle of conservatism than protecting the family, especially against those who attack it by eroding parental rights in the name of misguided social ideas. I am running for the leadership of the CPC to defend the Canadian family against:
– the disregard for the right to life of the unborn
– rampant promotion of euthanasia for the elderly and the disabled
– the promotion of radical sex education against the wishes of parents
– threats to jail parents in the name of outlawing 'conversion therapy'
At the heart of the radical left lies a burning desire to destroy the family, because once the family is gone, nothing stands between individuals and those who wish to exert total control over them. When we talk about the culture war, that is what is at stake. It’s life or death. It’s freedom or slavery. And that’s why I am willing to go to the wall to defend the integrity of the family."
[Derek Sloan CPC Leadership Campaign media release, March 19, 2020]
Condemning the Trudeau Liberal's child-abusive "Conversion Therapy Ban" Bill C-8:
"The Liberals condemn the notion that parents should be able to help a child identify with the body they were born with. 'Conversion therapy' is what they call any professional treatment in this area. All the while, the Liberals celebrate giving a child hormones and irreversible plastic surgery as 'gender affirmation'.
"If that seems backwards to you, that’s because it is. In fact, for teenagers suffering from gender dysphoria, it can be a nightmare.
"The Liberal and socialist 'gender ideologists' teach children in public schools (or wherever else they can reach them) that the child’s 'gender' is fluid and that they indeed might not be 'boys' or 'girls' as their parents have rightly taught them...
"If parents arrange for professional help for their children to deal with this gender dysphoria, both the parents and the counsellor can face a prison sentence of up to five years!
"This is madness...
"These 'bans' are far too broad and represents a dangerous overreach into personal liberties and parental rights."
