Ouch!
Melissa Chan-Green destroyed Luxon on his abortion stance this morning on The AM Show in another reminder why you have to tune in just in case you miss something.
Melissa was challenging Luxon on having Simon O’Connor take down his love heart post for anti-abortionism. She asked why had O’Connor had the post taken down and Luxon claimed it was just a small issue of not being on message and a fear that it would be interpreted as National Party Policy.
Melissa then devastatingly brought up an earlier post by O’Connor on June 15th and asked why his support of a Christian State funded school that was shaming gay students hadn’t been removed and an incredibly uncomfortable Luxon was left struggling to explain the difference between the two.
He was left acknowledging that the difference was because the abortion issue was politically bad for National.
Luxon and National are deeply socially conservative and are compromised hopelessly on this issue.
Excellent interview from Melissa.

Women make up approx half the population, and their reproductive rights and sexual health are their business. Womb less people should butt out or support women in solidarity.
So you can’t be a real woman without a womb Tiger Mountain?
Well put it this way…you are unlikely to get pregnant, have an abortion, or carry a foetus to term, or give birth vaginally or by C Section without a womb as far as medical science tells us.
“real woman” is no doubt up for grabs as much as “real man”
Who the hell watches morning TV anyway???
I think TV has been designed to tell Boomers and Woke Ideologs what they want to hear. Truth mixed with distortion.
TV is very comforting to them and with years of distortion-upon-distortion they believe themselves to be wise but they actually haven’t a clue about how the world works, let alone what happening in NZ.
They have excluded themselves from the real world and live in a State and/or Social Media bubble. Best to avoid such people.
It is simply not accurate that Luxon and National are deeply conservative. For all intents and purposes from what they’ve stated thus far, they intend to change nothing going forward about the new abortion laws which were purported to be some of the most relaxed in the entire world, with almost unlimited scope!!
People aren’t going to be focusing on the issue of abortion in the 2023 election. They will want assurances that they are going to be getting bang for buck from the politicians they elect. This means lowered petrol prices and motor vehicle charges; low electricity costs; a liveable income for the sick, and the disabled; a higher rate of Company Tax on the exorbitant profits made by the supermarkets; and more State housing to be built.
The only major political party that is even able to deliver all that is the New Zealand Labour party.
Will Melisa Chan Green haul Andrew Little over the coals for this sad edifice of health care? 11 day wait for surgery to set broken and fractured bones.
Or is she only good at picking low hanging fruit?

Luxon certainly is low hanging fruit
More parrot sessions with the ANZ chair required – also needs a bigger watch.
Andrew Little is “unavailable for comment” more than all other Government ministers combined.
I think we should have figured out National by now and that is to not trust a word they say. They have a habit of saying they will not do this or that or the other but if by some misfortune they become government after next years’ election those pre-election ‘promises’ will be discarded once the votes are counted and if in their favour. They are ones who live by double-standards and lies. But then it’s likely they will do what is normal for them and that is Copy and Paste whatever is going on in American politics eg the Trickle-down effect.
Yes JustMe, someone has to I keep cutting through the BS from the MSM/ NZ Herald/ ZB, National HQ
What I don’t get is how the National Party have a policy on something that’s traditionally been a conscience vote, and how does the current group of National MPs make promises for future ones.
One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind …would be for ALL men to stay the fark out of the “abortion” subject. Nobody understands it better than females. It’s females most impacted by abortion……but it’s invariably males the make the most noise on the subject.
There are women on both sides of the agreement so men have a right to voice an opinion re arguements for and against the situation.I would concider myself prochoice but can understand why someone would be pro -life . Politicians should be promoting policies that stop the unwanted pregnancy but if that fails take away the need for an abortion due to lack of money or social services . All children being born have a tight to be wanted and cared for.
