The law as it is at the moment is complex and bureaucratic and is difficult for women seeking an abortion. A pregnant woman has to go through multiple steps to obtain an abortion and that delay—and we have to remember, too, that for New Zealand, compared to the rest of the world, the time or duration within the pregnancy by which a New Zealand woman gets an abortion is one of the longest in the world, and that adds to their stress. It's not good for them. It's not good for health practitioners. It's not good for New Zealand. The proposals in the bill will enable earlier access to services and will support the best health and wellbeing outcomes for women. The bill reflects the fact that women can and should be trusted to make an important health decision in consultation with their doctor.
