Candidate, Nicholas Insley
Conservative Party | Coquitlam - Port Coquitlam, BC
CLC rating: Educable
Light Rating
Rating Comments: During a phone interview with CLC, Insley shared that he "possibly" holds rape & incest exceptions where he feels it may be permissible to kill children in-utero.
Although he's generally opposed to abortion, these "exceptions" prevent CLC from being able to endorse him as fully pro-life. In addition, he said he would never introduce pro-life private members bills or motions owing to the fact that he apparently signed a contract of some sort promising the Conservative Party that he would never "reopen the abortion debate". Neither would Insley commit to voting in favour of someone else's pro-life bills or motions, insisting he would have to study it first to determine whether he could support it.
Hopefully, with education and influence from pro-life people in his riding, Insley willl one day be brought around to a fully pro-life position.
