During the 2016 Manitoba provincial election cycle, the Office of the Leader of Manitoba’s Liberal Party sent a statement to CLC which claimed to represent the beliefs of all Liberal Party candidates and MLAs. The statement suggests that all Manitoba Liberal candidates support the legalized killing of preborn children by abortion, as well as forcing taxpayers to finance those killings with public money. Furthermore, it implies that all Liberal candidates will oppose legislation that would protect the conscience rights of doctors and other health care workers, for example, in continuing to be able to refuse to participate in abortion, or give referrals for abortion. The statement also suggests that every Liberal candidate opposes the fundamental right of parents to withdraw their children from classroom lessons which contradict their religious and moral values, on the topics of marriage and homosexuality.

NDP MLA Maloway supported the NDP's oppressive Bill 18 which attacked parental rights, family values and religious freedom. This person has been rated as pro-abortion based on an official policy statement by the NDP, on behalf of all NDP candidates, which asserted abortion as “a woman’s right to choose”. This official pro-abortion statement was posted April 5th on the NDP’s website during the 2016 provincial election.

Green Party policy is officially pro-abortion, explicitly pledging support for "abortion access" and for forcing taxpayers to fund other people's elective abortions.

In a further sign of his radically woke, ideological worldview, Mr. Geddert says on his campaign website that he "recognizes he is participating in a colonial institution on stolen indigenous lands, and the sovereignty of those nations." Obviously, the "colonial institution" to which he is referring is Canada itself, a nation of which Manitoba is a part, and towards which he appears to have contempt, and yet, wants to 'serve' as a provincial MLA.
