Abortion Statistics In New Zealand Hid Brutal Truths

AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND (ANS) -- In spite of recording a fall for the second year in a row, official abortion figures for last year reveal that the number of abortions in New Zealand has, in fact, increased by 57 per cent since 1990.
 
And, says Bob McCroskrie, director of the Family First Lobby, last year’s figures paint a terrible picture for New Zealand teenagers. Since 1990 the number of 11 to 14-year-olds having an abortion had increased by 139 per cent and the number of abortions for 15 to 19-year-olds had increased by 63 per cent.
The number of women having their third or more abortion had increased by an unbelievable 268 per cent since 1990, suggesting a lifestyle choice of convenience rather than the weak legal justification of “mental harm.”

Abortions being performed at more than 14 weeks had also more than doubled since 1990, despite all the pictures and scans we are seeing showing the fetal development of the unborn child.
