Here are quotes from Peter Bevan-Baker on various life and family issues:
Expressed relief and satisfaction when PEI's Liberal government abandoned its principled, pro-life policy of not permitting surgical abortions on the island, pledging instead to set up an abortion killing centre with the full support of government: “It’s a long overdue decision and I’m just happy and relieved that it’s come,” [The Guardian, 'Liberal MLA disappointed in his own government’s abortion decision', April 1, 2016]
Explaining how his Green Party policy platform promises to bring surgical abortions of preborn children to Prince Edward Island, in the form of a dedicated abortuary: “It removes the unnecessary barriers that currently exist here on Prince Edward Island, it saves our province money and it finally provides a level of service for Island women that exist for all Canadian women everywhere and it absolutely has to be done.” [The Guardian, 'Abortion polarizes leaders', April 14, 2015]
Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Peter Bevan-Baker on 2023.
Question | Response |
---|---|
Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | survey not sent |
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 (e.g. In the case of tubal pregnancy or cervical cancer) but which results in the unintended and undesired death of the pre-born child, is not an abortion.] | Yes (per public statements) |
Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers’ money in PEI? | No (per public statements) |
Do you agree women have the right to be thoroughly informed about the serious health consequences of abortion, the development of their child in the womb and the alternatives to abortion? | survey not sent |
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? | survey not sent |
Will you oppose euthanasia and assisted suicide, 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.] | survey not sent |
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? | survey not sent |
