Bio
CLC rating: Caution
Rating Comments: In response to CLC's 2022 election survey sent to Kari by a pro-life voter, she did not divulge her own position on abortion, but did defend the continued funding of Planned Parenthood and similar abortion-referral organizations with taxpayer money. The logic she used of why they ought to continue being funded, even if someone disagrees with their advocacy of in-utero child murder, is because, she (wrongly) believes that those organization also offer prenatal care, counselling to help women keep their babies, and obstetric and midwife referrals. However, CLC knows that numerous investigations into Planned Parenthood's claims of providing non-controversial services such as pap smears and life-affirming counselling has turned out to be totally bogus. Analysis of Planned Parenthood's business shows that they focus almost exclusively on abortion, and generally do not offer, or offer very little, of the services that everyone would agree with. On a more positive note, Ms. Williams wrote that she strongly opposes censorship laws (or bylaws) to strip pro-life Canadians of their constitutional right to peacefully protest outside abortion facilities, and would defend that right even if she didn't agree with the views of those protesting.

Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Kari Williams on 2022.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Organizations like Planned Parenthood (PP) routinely counsel women to have abortions. Given that abortion is a controversial practice that many taxpayers in your city/municipality find abhorrent, do you agree that PP and its affiliates should not receive taxpayer funds through the city/municipality? | survey not sent |
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | survey not sent |
| Do you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice? | survey not sent |
| There has been a move in some municipal jurisdictions to pass bylaws which establish censorship zones, also called “bubble zones”, around abortion facilities. These unconstitutional censorship zones make it illegal to express peaceful pro-life speech, including silent prayer, on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within the vicinity of abortion facilities and pharmacies which dispense abortion pills. If elected, would you vote to oppose such a censorship bylaw? | survey not sent |
