Here is Rick DeSaulniers's voting record relating to life and family issues:
| Votes, Surveys and Policy Decision | Vote | Score |
|---|---|---|
| Bill 11, An Act Respecting Proof of Immunization Introduced by former provincial NDP leader turned PC Minister of Education, Domenic Cardy, this authoritarian bill would require all students to provide proof of immunization in order to attend any of the province’s early learning and childcare facilities or public schools and would not allow any conscientious or religious-based exemptions – only medical ones. That means, for example, that if parents object to certain vaccines on the basis of their unethical development or implications, those objections would be ignored. It would be a disastrous precedent given the bill’s failure to recognize the morally dubious nature of a great number of vaccines. Thankfully, even amidst the panic associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, this enforced-injection bill was wisely, if narrowly, defeated by a vote of 22 to 20 on June 18, 2020. |

| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | no response |
| Are there any circumstances under which you believe a woman should have access to abortion? (note: a surgical or medical intervention, designed to prevent the death of the mother but but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion. e.g. in cases of tubal pregnancy or cervical cancer) | no response |
| Will you uphold the current law of not funding abortion in private facilities? | no response |
| Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers money in all New Brunswick hospitals? | no response |

| Will you protect the rights of parents to educate their children according to their faith in matters of moral principles and beliefs concerning abortion, contraception and homosexuality? | no response |
| 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? (Note: 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.) | no response |
| 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? | no response |
