Abortion in NZ was only removed from the Crimes Act in March 2020. The vote was 68-51. Before that access to abortion was through a legal loophole and it was a dehumanising rigmarole. Laws, funding, and access to services can be changed. Remember that. #AbortionIsHealthcare

Chris Luxon believes that abortion is murder. The MAJORITY of National MPs voted against decriminalising abortion in 2020. Luxon said the law is "settled". Even if you believe him, that won't stop him as PM restricting access or cutting funding to abortion services. He will.
