		Abortion, in its most common usage, refers to the deliberate early termination of a pregnancy, resulting in the death of the embryo or fetus.
		Medically, the term also refers to the early termination of a pregnancy by natural causes ("spontaneous abortion" or miscarriage, which ends 1 in 5 of all pregnancies, usually within the first 13 weeks) or to the cessation of normal growth of a body part or organ.
		Very late abortions can be brought about by the controversial intact dilation and extraction (D and X) or a hysterotomy abortion, similar to a caesarian section, and requiring the surgical decompression of the fetus's head before evacuation.

	Christian right - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Canada, Australia and New Zealand, their respective Christian Right movements support Stephen Harper, John Howard and Don Brash, although the latter was arguably prevented from wining the last New Zealand General Election in 2005 due to badly-timed Exclusive Brethren interference which may have cost urban votes.
		In the case of New Zealand, there was also marked opposition to the liberal anti-apartheid movements of the seventies and eighties, which sought to end sporting and diplomatic relationships with South Africa until apartheid ceased to exist in the early nineties.
		As New Zealand is a unitary state, and has a single parliamentary chamber, there was little opportunity for social conservative niche parties to influence politics until the electorate voted for Mixed Member Proportional electoral reform at a referendum held in 1993.

	Untitled Document
		When the 1967 Abortion Act was passed in the United Kingdom, greatly extending the grounds for abortion in that country, lurid stories were printed in the New Zealand press of crying foetuses being rescued from the incinerator, and unscrupulous operators touting for business.
		SPUC was to become the foremost opponent of abortion law reform in New Zealand, maintaining that the existing law on abortion was quite adequate to cover cases of genuine need and that the rights of the foetus needed to be recognised as well.
		Whereas ALRANZ held that abortion reform had to be a matter of co-operation between women and the medical profession, for feminists the right to abortion was part of a wider movement to dismantle male professional control over all aspects of women's health.

	New Zealand study shows mental-health dangers after women have an abortion - Catholic Online
		The New Zealand study found that a young woman's risk of depression, anxiety, and drug and alcohol abuse is raised by having an abortion.
		"Abortion is the most common medical or surgical procedure young women undergo by far, and there are potential adverse reactions," said psychologist and epidemiologist David Fergusson of Christchurch University in New Zealand.
		By age 25, it said, 42 percent of the women who had an abortion had experienced major depression in the previous four years; this was almost double the rate of those who had never been pregnant and 35 percent higher than those who had continued their pregnancies.

	Capitalism Bad; Tree Pretty: Abortion Access in New Zealand
		As I've said before, abortion law in New Zealand is an awful mess and I have a life-long goal to dance on the grave of every man who voted for it.
		But abortion practice, at least in the major cities, is better than in many countries that have laws that are based on women's rights.
		But my real point is that it is not only males that have opposed abortion, and surely your anger should be directed at all those people who have led to the position that you despise; rather than limiting it some on basis of their sex.

	Alas, a blog » Blog Archive » An uplifting tale of women’s rights being trampled on
		In 1977 New Zealand passed abortion legislation that was described as the most repressive in the Western world and, apart from a couple of minor modifications in 1978, it hasn’t been changed since.
		New Zealand is the positive example of that, the United States is the negative.
		New Zealand women didn’t have a legal right to abortion before the law change, but from 1974 if you could get up to Auckland in your first trimester then Auckland Medical Aid Centre would probably give you one, basically they were ignoring the law.

		The study reports that women who have abortions have a higher rate of subsequent mental problems that couldn't be explained by any pre-abortion mental issues.
		He explains that in New Zealand abortions are allowed to protect women's physical and mental health.
		"In New Zealand, the law requires that abortion can only be performed when doctors agree that it's likely to benefit the mental health or physical health of women -- and [Fergusson's] study shows that it's likely to hurt rather than help women," he says.

		Although she rejoices that New Zealand women now have viable choices in terminating unwanted pregnancies, she still regards it as an imposition that they have to “jump through the hoops” imposed by the law.

	New Zealand Researcher: No Denying, Abortion Harms Women
		He found the opposite, and the results were so profound that they cannot be ignored in the scientific field or the political arena.
		Fergusson and his colleagues were surprised by the study that followed 500 women from birth to age 25 and revealed that abortive women were one-and-a-half times more likely to suffer mental illness.
		As a result, the study is heating up the political debate over abortion in the United States while having a more profound effect on countries such as New Zealand and Great Britain where abortions are certified based on what was once thought to be in the best interest of the woman's health.

	Abortion and Mental Health
		This in spite of the fact that in New Zealand, every abortion is preceded by discussions with counselors, and most are performed for the purpose of protecting the woman's mental health.
		This relatively strong conclusion about the absence of harm from abortion was based on a relatively small number of studies which had one or more of the following limitations: a) absence of comprehensive assessment of mental disorders; b) lack of comparison groups; and c) limited statistical controls.
		Certainly in this study, those young women who had abortions appeared to be at moderately increased risk of both concurrent and subsequent mental health problems when compared with equivalent groups of pregnant or non-pregnant peers.
