Legalising Cannabis ? Removing the Snoopers Charter ? Electoral reform ? <| sep |> Abortion in New Zealand should be free , legal , and easy to get . Contraceptives should also be easy to come by , sex education in schools should be better , and I think free sex education for adults should be a thing . But even with contraceptive and awesome sex ed , abortion still needs to be something that is free , easy to come by , and legal . The most common reason for abortion being illegal is that sluts should keep their legs closed and if they don ' t , they should be punished for this sluttiness by being forced to give up their body for 9 months and have their health affected for the rest of their life . As a slut and a person who has given birth twice I disagree with this line of reasoning because it ' s shit . Anyone should be able to enjoy sex and if contraception fails and a person doesn ' t want to be pregnant then yeah , they should be able to choose to have an abortion . Anti abortion people use the life begins argument against slutty people who have slutty sex , but what about people who get pregnant with a baby they really want and then later choose abortion due to health reasons ? Say a couple has been trying to get pregnant for a really long time , they finally do , and then they go to the 20 week scan and find out their baby has a catastrophic disability , perhaps it doesn ' t have a fully formed brain . Should they be allowed to abort ? What about a person who gets to say 6 months pregnant and has been told that if they continue the pregnancy their health is at serious risk , they could die . Whether for health reasons of the person carrying the child or of the foetus or whether a person just decides they don ' t want to be pregnant , abortion should be granted to people who want one . A person should be able to make the decision for themselves to terminate the pregnancy , whatever their reason . The Loophole we have now means that abortion , while possible , stays illegal . Abortion should be free and legal and easy to get for anyone who wants one for any reason
