In 2013 she was one of 161 MPs to oppose the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013, though this was partially due to the fact the act was not 'equal' in that members of the public sector same sex couples would not be eligible for the same pension rights, which she stated during the debate. She is also a listed member of the House of Commons' All-Party Parliamentary Pro-Life Group, opposing abortion. She has called for a commons debate on the badger cull, which she opposed.
