Pro-life groups believe the availability of this drug will increase the number of abortions well beyond the current 18k committed in NZ annually.

Those who have been following my Live tweeting abortion series know Angie Jackson has been experiencing all the side effects – nausea, vomiting, headache, cramping, and bleeding – for several days.

Thanks for keeping us abreast of what’s happening in New Zealand Andy.
It’s refreshing and encouraging to hear of a country where the MSM isn’t so biased against life. Their journalistic integrity must actually mean something to them.
It reminds us that there is hope.
