I sometimes wonder whether those who protest, including outside my local hospital, quite realise the level of vulnerability, and, indeed, shame there still is around women and pregnant people accessing what is a perfectly legal service in control of their own destinies and their own lives. I sometimes wonder whether their efforts would, in fact, be better served—if indeed they have such aroha for women and for children—in perhaps going out and supporting our young mums who struggle to raise babies; maybe it would be better served by an effort to volunteer at your local after-school care programme or perhaps to donate food or offer practical support rather than to harass and bully—however well intentioned you may be—women at such a vulnerable point in their lives.
