Last Saturday Kiwis awoke to the shocking news that Roe v Wade had been overturned by the US Supreme Court.
While many Kiwis expressed grief, sadness and concern for those whose health and lives may be put at risk by the ruling, one Kiwi politician saw it as cause for celebration.
Unlike Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and even Act leader David Seymour, who condemned the move, National MP Simon O'Connor shared a post saying it was a "good day".
He later removed the post after immense outcry, as well as disapproval from party leader Christopher Luxon.
O'Connor said the post "caused distress and trouble" to the National party, which wants to focus on "big matters".
In this week's episode of In the Loop, journalists Cheree Kinnear and Katie Harris examine how the decision unfolded in New Zealand, and how Kiwi politicians reacted.
Also on the show, Air New Zealand unveils a new way of flying, a grisly discovery in Texas, R. Kelly has his final day in court and a new drug has hospitalised 12 in New Zealand.
