Bio

Rachel Notley
Not Supportable
Not Supportable
CLC rating: Pro-abortion, anti-parental rights
Rating Comments: Rating based on official party policy. According to a January 27 2010 Edmonton Sun article, the New Democratic Party of Alberta published a report calling for greater access to abortion, and complaining that part of the problem is because not enough medical students are taught how to kill babies in-utero.

In June 2022, MLA Notley made feverish comments condemning the US Supreme Court's principled decision to strike down the egregiously unjust 1973 pro-abortion Roe vs. Wade ruling that provided a licence to kill unborn children throughout the United States.

Here is Rachel Notley'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]

Here are quotes from Rachel Notley on various life and family issues:

Reacting to the US Supreme Court's principled overturning in June 2022 of the infamous 1973 Roe vs. Wade pro-abortion edict, hysterically warning that "people will die" if fewer children are killed by abortion:  "NDP Leader Rachel Notley said at a news conference from Calgary Friday the U.S. decision is 'abhorrent', and illustrates the need to fight for fundamental human rights and increase access to abortion in Alberta. 'Lives will be ruined as the result of this court decision, and make no mistake, people will die,' said Notley, adding anti-abortion groups are hard at work in Alberta and Canada. 'I am horrified, but we would also be naive to think that this is a "somewhere else" problem,' she said." [Fairview Post, 'Aheer lone UCP leadership candidate to condemn U.S. Supreme Court abortion decision', June 29, 2022]

Hounding Alberta's UCP leadership candidates to embed child-killing in their campaign platforms, while at the same time advancing the absurd ideology that non-women (i.e. men) "can become pregnant":  "I call today on every UCP leadership candidate…to definitively state that they will never do anything to undermine the fundamental right to reproductive healthcare for women, girls and people who can become pregnant." [CTV News, 'Here's where UCP leadership candidates stand on abortion and access to it', June 27, 2022]
