Political views McGee is an advocate of a consistent life ethic, opposing abortion, capital punishment, and euthanasia. She was one of two signatories of a letter circulated by Democrats for Life advocating for the return of the 2000 Democratic Party platform's acknowledgment of a diversity of opinion on abortion.

In 2022, McGee raised objections to House Bill 5414, signed by Governor Ned Lamont and aimed at expanding access to abortions. She opposed the bill, asserting that black people had been disproportionately targeted by an "abortion industry." In regards to abortion, McGee said that her main priority would be to implement policies to lessen the demand for abortions.
