Karrie Delaney has scrubbed her website to appear as a moderate mother who just cares for children. She does not show up for candidate forums in her District. For four years, parishioners from St. Timothy and St. Veronica Catholic Churches have scheduled meetings with Delaney for Pro-Life Advocacy Day. Each time, after making the two-hour trip to Richmond, the delegation was informed upon arrival that Delegate Delaney is unavailable to meet because of a last-minute meeting. Other Democrat and Republican members, who also had meetings, made efforts to meet constituents if even for a few minutes as they stepped out of a meeting. Common courtesy would assume that Delaney’s office would make an attempt to contact the person who arranged the meeting ahead of time.
On Karrie Delaney’s official House of Delegate Biography page, Delaney identifies as a Catholic. But her voting record reveals that partisan ideology, not the tenets of the Catholic faith or concern for children and families guides her votes.
Karrie Delaney distinguished herself as an advocate for the transgender political movement as the sponsor of legislation to draft pro-transgender ideology guidelines for school districts. Delaney’s first term coincided with the takeover of the General Assembly by the Democrats and the Governorship of Ralph Northam.
Early Leadership in Transgender Policy in all Virginia Public Schools
As soon as the Attorney General gave the go-ahead to treat transgender as a protected class, Delaney co-sponsored HB 145 legislation directing the Virginia Department of Education to develop guidelines to protect the rights of Transgender Students and staff. These “guidelines” recommended that all schools: Tell children (K-12) they can change their sex, require schools to facilitate that choice and refer for treatments for sterilization causing puberty blockers without parental knowledge (recommending protecting children from parents who may disagree), disciplining students, teachers, staff who challenge the child’s diagnosis, providing for self-identifying “transgender” students to use bathrooms, locker rooms, and share sleeping arrangements on overnight school trips with member of the opposite sex . Only 14 of 132 school districts adopted the radical guidelines opposed by the majority of parents. When Governor Youngkin took office in 2022 one of his first orders was to direct the VDOE to review and develop new guidelines. In 2025, the radical School Board of FCPS still follows the original guidelines.
Abortion on Demand Paid for by Taxpayers
Karrie Delaney never met an abortion she didn’t support and didn’t want taxpayers to pay for. Whenever the topic of abortion comes up, Karrie Delaney has voted consistently for the expansion of abortion. The children whose lives are ended by abortion do not appear to be a consideration at all – even voting against providing medical care to babies who survive abortion.
Planned Parenthood (PP) is the leading provider of abortion in the country and spends millions of dollars on political campaigns to protect its public funding. Planned Parenthood has expanded its services from abortion to hormone therapy for transgender patients in 5 VA clinics using a model called “Informed Consent”. (According to Planned Parenthood, “Informed Consent is a model of care in which patients are able to access hormones during a visit with their provider, where they’ll discuss the risks and benefits of care. No visit with a mental health professional is required. Planned Parenthood is dedicated to making health care accessible and welcoming to everyone who needs care, no matter what.”)
Karrie Delaney works diligently to protect her endorsement from Planned Parenthood. In her first term Delaney voted to move “back-alley” abortions, to the storefront. She and her Democrat colleagues reversed all the common-sense protections for women receiving abortions including requirements that all abortion facilities comply with all the same health standards as other medical clinics; requiring that all abortions be performed by a license doctor (Non-doctors can now perform abortions throughout the first 3 months of pregnancy.); repeal informed consent requirements and waiting periods.
Delaney expanded abortion and required all health plans and Medicaid to include abortion: even health plans of employers with religious objections.
Opposed Religious Conscientious Objections
Karrie Delaney voted to oppose the consciences of health care and adoption/child welfare providers, Churches, Religious Schools, Ministries, etc. to operate and hire workers consistent with the religious tenets of their Faith. Delaney voted against legislation that would protect the religious autonomy of adoption/child welfare providers in providing services to their clients. Karrie Delaney voted for a Virginia FACE law that would restrict the first amendment religious and speech rights of prayerful pro-lifers who provide prayer and information on alternatives to abortion near abortion facilities.
Pornography in Schools – Delaney says “Bring it On!”
When it was revealed in Fairfax County Public schools that the schools were providing explicit sexual material in Family Life Education classes and allowing for pornographic materials in the school libraries, Karrie Delaney took leadership to protect the abuses of the schools. Delaney voted against legislation that required that parents be informed when explicit sexual material would be presented to students K-12.
Background on pornographic material: The pornographic material that came to light in Fairfax public school libraries depicted “gay sex”. The rationale by FCPS for allowing the books was: “This depiction includes the difficulties nonbinary and asexual individuals may face. The book has literary value in its structure, voice, and themes and has won literary awards. Students with a related experience will feel affirmed and others can gain understanding and empathy.” In other words, the pornography had value for transgender students.
When the issue of pornography in public school libraries arose in 2023 Karrie Delaney jumped on it and was the lead sponsor of HB 2136 “Prohibits local school boards from removing or restricting access to printed or audiovisual materials available in public school libraries solely on the basis of the presence of characters, literary elements, themes, symbols, or other literary content relating to protected characteristics, including race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity (emphasis added), or disability or other medical condition, or protected classes as defined in relevant law.” Delaney’s bill would codify the rationale used by FCPS to maintain pornographic material in public school libraries. This bill did not make it into law.
Not to be deterred, in 2024, Delaney made another attempt and introduced HB 571 that would prohibit the Virginia Department of Education or school boards from creating any policy that regulates the selection and deselection of school library books to protect children from sexually explicit library books. This legislation passed the General Assembly and would have become law, except for Governor Youngkin’s veto.
