Here is Lori Sigurdson's voting record relating to life and family issues:
| Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision | Vote | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Bill 24, An Act to Support Gay-Straight Alliances This atrocious bill, sponsored by the socialist NDP government's Education Minister David Eggen, makes it illegal for school teachers to inform parents of their own children's involvement in homosexualist/transsexualist "GSA" clubs, effectively turning schools into hiding places where children can lead sexual double-lives without their own parents' knowledge. The bill usurps parents' primary rights to direct the moral formation and sexual behaviour of their own children by treating parents as the enemy, inculcating distrust of parents and instigating an attitude of collusion between hired school teachers and other people's children, behind parents' backs. This anti-parent bill passed 42 - 23 upon third reading. [November 15, 2017] |

| Will you work to repeal Bill 24, the NDP legislation which requires schools to keep it secret from parents if their child has joined a gay pride club at school, a.k.a. Gay-Straight Alliance clubs? | no (as per party policy) |
