Candidate, Ronna-Rae Leonard
New Democrat Party, Courtenay-Comox, BC
Bio
CLC rating: Pro-abortion, pro-euthanasia, pro-LGBT ideology
Rating Comments: MLA Leonard previously ran federally for the NDP in the riding of Vanouver Island North, but did not win. The NDP's official position is pro-abortion. It was the NDP government, elected in 1990, that introduced regulations within the province's Health Act, to force hospitals within each region of the province to provide "abortion services", even where the hospital board of directors had voted against the practice. In 2001, the ruling NDP government issued one of the most radical pro-abortion resolutions ever seen in North America which included increased funding for the medical training of abortionists; enhanced access to abortifacient morning-after pills; and increased fees for abortionists. The NDP also passed the "bubble zone" law t to prevent pro-life protests in front of abortuaries. The BC NDP is also opposed to traditional family values. Its constitution includes a "Lesbian-Gay-Bisexual-Transgendered Caucus" within the party.
