List of Amendments National tried to stop Abortion laws – you judge if they won’t try it on?
National need woman voters or they can’t win.
Christopher Luxon is a Handmaids Tale level anti-abortionist who answers to God, not the Press Gallery.
60% of the National Caucus voted against legalised abortion.
National desperately have to reverse their rabid anti-abortion stance in the wake of the Roe vs Wade monstrosity.
Here is Christopher Luxon sending his thoughts and prayers…
…which is all well and good, but let’s remind everyone what amendments they attempted to truly understand how National would respond to the Abortion issue if in power.
Make it harder to get approval for an Abortion.
Require those providing abortions to consider religious considerations to abortion.
Require those providing abortions to consider conservative Māori views on abortion.
Making it illegal to not hire anti-abortion drs.
Making it illegal to terminate a pregnancy for genetic abnormalities.
Force women to tell the State how many abortions they have.
Banning abortion for under 16 year olds.
So when Luxon, who answers to God and not the NZ twittersphere, when he says these laws won’t be relitigated, he’s right, they won’t be, the above amendments can simply be agreed upon with a simple vote, no new laws, just amendments to the current ones, amendments National have already ON THE RECORD given as to the tricks and nasty games they’ll play to technically stop abortions from happening!
Sooooooo, when he says Abortion law changes are off the table, he really means making it harder to get an abortion, being forced to consider religious views, conservative Māori views, Christian Drs not having to disclose details for other abortionists, protecting those Christian Drs from being sacked, making it illegal to abort any foetus with any deformity, force women to tell the state how many abortions they’ve had and banning 16 year olds from having an abortion, oh those are all on the fucking table waiting to be voted in.
These Right Wing Christian Judges lied through their teeth…
…why on earth are you going to risk a political unknown evangelical Christian who leads a Party willing to pass this shit as ‘amendments’ and pretend that’s not a risk?

Pushing the fear of a change in abortion laws because of the situation in America shows how low some will go and prove how weak Labours prospects of reelection are in their eyes without them.
Trevor you can hardly say that Martyn just sings the praises of Labour. He is as critical as anyone on a number of issues. I think he is raising a valid concern. If you believe Luxon then fair enough
Thanks for bringing this up Martyn.
Luxon is a zealot and a slimy dangerous conservative.
I wonder what else he and his like will try to change if they get a chance at the helm.
I don’t trust him and hope the truth unfolds and NZ voters get to see his REAL agenda before it’s too late.
And what is this real agenda .
Katy Pai I don’t know any woman who doesn’t find Luxon slimey, and that is very much an instinctive reaction. This issue is a women’s issue. We don’t generally self-impregnate, and the semen-careless males throwing their opinions around should be focusing on cause rather than effect, but it doesn’t suit them to. They’re the sort of pathetic little bastards who hire shiny cars to get a few hundred yards up the road and think that they’re gods. Far from it.
How many of you people FAIL simple reading comprehension?
Martyn has clearly pointed out that Luxon’s promise not to relitigate means absolutely nothing. Once he has a majority he can easily pass all those amendments, making abortions bloody difficult to get. While keeping his promise not to relitigate.
Did that not sink in? It seems to me that very few of the commenters above have even grasped that point.
i understand what you are saying, but i think that Luxon might view doing any amendments as political suicide. he will be much preoccupied with privatizing any remaining assets.
If someone who doesn’t want a baby carried to term decides to surepticiously give someone pregnant the drug ru486, then under the present law would this be viewed as murder?
Jen If somebody administered an abortive drug to another without her knowledge and consent, the prima facie case would be one of assault against the person of the woman.
Luxon isn’t a Christian and he certainly doesn’t answer to god. I’m not even convinced he’s loyal to the devil he worships.
He may or may not believe abortion is murder, but he certainly isn’t principled enough to act on that conviction- whether by moving to ban it, or pushing women who use abortions as contraception to use IUDs.
John White. Nor is he principled enough to urge men to accept some responsibility for this difficult situation.
What is this; The Daily Abortion Blog? lol 🙂
The idea that National are waiting in the wings to legislate the uterus is demented.
On a nicer tone, this weeks Working Group was great..
Martyn was taken behind the woodshed by his guests and had some proverbially sense beaten into him. Martyn took it well, which was endearing.
I’d implore The Daily Blog to move back towards the “political center” and pull up from the far-left content nosedive of the past couple of weeks.
