Here are quotes from Lorraine Michael on various life and family issues:
Advocating for the government to expand the number of locations where abortionists can dismember and decapitate preborn children: “It just means there’s an inequality in this province with regards to women’s rights, and that’s not acceptable. I find it difficult to understand why abortions could not be carried on in all of our hospitals that deal with gynecological issues.” [The Telegram, 'St. John’s only place in N.L. to get abortion', Oct. 8, 2014]
Here are the answers for the questionnaire as provided by Lorraine Michael on 2015.
| Question | Response |
|---|---|
| Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? | -- |
| 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.] |

| Will you support measures to stop funding abortions with taxpayers’ money in Newfoundland and Labrador? | No (based on official party policy) |

| 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? | -- |
| 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.] |
-- |
| 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 (based on official party policy) |
