Thanks to the Center for the Advancement of Women for their link to this article from Women's eNews, about abortion rights and the New Zealand election campaign.
Labour Prime Minister Helen Clark trails National Party leader John Key in the polls. Neither Clark nor Key has commented on a judge's ruling that the country's abortion law "is being interpreted too liberally." Women's eNews reports that Jackie Edmond, head of New Zealand family planning, is glad that debate over the ruling isn't taking place in the heat of an election campaign.
The whole article is worth reading, and contains interesting information about women's political history in New Zealand.
