Abortion law passes first vote in Parliament 94-23

Brian from New Lynn

A bill revising New Zealand's 42-year-old Contraception, Sterilisation and Abortion Act passed its first reading in the House 94 votes to 23 on Thursday. The biggest changes it proposes would see a current requirement for two doctors to have to approve an abortion on physical or mental health grounds dropped - in favour of letting women make the decision up to 20 weeks' pregnancy. Later than that, one medical practioner would have to agree. MPs voted on the bill individually, rather than along party lines and the legislation will now go to a Select Committee, which will consider changes and public submissions.
