WelCom April 2020:
One of the strongest opponents to the Abortion Legislation Bill was National MP Agnes Loheni, who opposed the legislation recommended by the select committee overseeing it, and produced her own minority report.
Ms Loheni has highlighted how of the 25,000 submissions on the bill, approximately 91.6 per cent were opposed to it passing.
She described the legislation as ‘an attack on our own humanity’.
In Parliament she said, ‘Who are we and [where] are we heading as a society if we allow laws which attack our the most sacred instinct [a mother] has for her unborn child?’
