New Zealand: MP renews abortion debate

TVNZ: “Labour MP Steve Chadwick wants to further liberalise the laws around abortion. The list MP who lost her seat in Rotorua during the last election is proposing a new law to legalise abortion on request up to 24 weeks into a pregnancy. The need for two doctors to give their consent would be lifted, while abortions after 24 weeks would need medical support.”
