Under the influence of its anti-life-and-family leader Susan Holt, the New Brunswick Liberal Party became officially pro-abortion and anti-parental rights when, at the Party's 2024 Convention, resolutions were passed to extend public funding to abortions committed outside hospitals at private, for-profit killing centres. Convention delegates also voted to eviscerate the current PC government's pro-parental rights Policy 713, which requires parental consent before transgender "pronouns" can be used to describe their children at school.

As further testament to the party's pro-abortion views, both of the previous Liberal Party leaders, Brian Gallant and Kevin Vickers, were aggressively pro-abortion. Gallant banned pro-lifers from running as Liberal candidates and repealed a requirement that hospital abortions required a sign-off by two doctors that the killing of the unborn child was "medically necessary". Both Gallant and Vickers strongly supported taxpayer funding of for profit, private abortuaries.

Based on Green Party policy which supports expanding taxpayer funding of abortions to private, for-profit killing centres like the notorious Clinic 554 abortuary in Fredericton. During the 2014 campaign trail, the Green Party leader also declared that the Green party, if elected to government, would immediately repeal the modicum of abortion restrictions that then existed in New Brunswick. Those restrictions, which have since been dismantled, had included a requirement that 2 doctors sign off on an abortion as being 'medically necessary' before it could be funded by taxpayers. Removing that restriction means the government agrees to fund all abortions, for any reason or no reason at all, even as a back-up birth control method.
