Reader Leo Leitch wrote to the Bay of Plenty Times addressing the Green Party's stance on abortions against their stance on the Maui dolphin.
What do you think? Have your say on the issue by posting in the comments below.
The Green Party has announced it wants to make abortion freely available to women up to 20 weeks pregnant. Currently, a woman needs the approval of two certifying consultants.
This is announced as a way to retain faith with feminism, indeed to present the party as the closest ally of feminism.
Meanwhile, while the Greens boldly seek this change, they are simultaneously against any activity remotely likely to cause the accidental death of a Maui's dolphin, and claim to be the foremost guardians of human rights.
