Parental Notification For Teen Abortions
Family First supports this legislation
Currently, girls under the age of 16 can have an abortion without their parents being informed. In 2004, a law-change proposed to prevent this was defeated.
During the debate on the new 2020 liberal abortion law (referred to previously), an amendment which would have seen abortion for minors treated like any other health procedure (which included appropriate parental consent) was again defeated. In all other health contexts, the health practitioner is required to assess the child’s capacity prior to a medical procedure and, where capacity is lacking, obtain the consent of a parent or guardian. It is ironic that abortion advocates want abortion to be treated as a ‘health issue’ – but not when it involves a teenager seeking an abortion.

Anti-Smacking Law
Family First opposes this legislation
Section 59 of the Crimes Act was amended in 2007, removing legal protection from parents who exercise discipline over their children in the form of reasonable physical punishment.
87% of New Zealanders oppose the new law in a subsequent referendum in 2009. Most social indicators around the welfare of children have continued to worsen since the law change including serious physical child abuse, proving we are not tackling the real causes of child abuse. The amendment makes parents who engage in reasonable correction of their children liable for prosecution and unwarranted intervention by police and Oranga Tamariki. Despite promises that this wouldn’t happen, legal analysis and evidence from families rebut the assurances that were given.

Decriminalise Non-Abusive Smacking
Family First supports this legislation
After 87% of New Zealanders voted overwhelmingly in a referendum to change the anti-smacking law, politicians had the opportunity to support a private members bill that would have decriminalised light and non-abusive smacking for the purpose of correction.
This would have removed the fear and uncertainty around the anti-smacking law, which continues more than 16 years on. This proposed amendment to the law was virtually identical to that aggressively lobbied for by the National party. The bill was defeated, and all National MPs voted against it.
