Agree

Pro-choice, but ban after the first three months

This stance may resonate with some National Party members, as it represents a compromise between pro-life and pro-choice views. The Abortion Legislation Bill, which some National MPs supported, allows for abortion up to 20 weeks of pregnancy, which is slightly longer than the first three months.

Agree

Pro-choice, and providing birth control, sex education, and more social services will help reduce the number of abortions

Some National Party members may agree with this stance, as it emphasizes the importance of reducing the number of abortions through education and social services. The party has supported policies that promote education and social services in the past, although it may not be their primary focus.

Slightly agree

Pro-choice, I don’t agree but the government has no right to ban it

Some National Party members may agree with this stance, as it acknowledges the government's limited role in regulating personal decisions. However, the party has generally been more conservative on social issues, so this may not be a widely held view.

Slightly agree

Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child

Some National Party members may agree with this stance, as it allows for exceptions in extreme cases. For example, in 2020, the party's MPs were divided on the Abortion Legislation Bill, which decriminalized abortion and allowed it up to 20 weeks of pregnancy. Some MPs supported the bill, while others opposed it.

Strongly disagree

Pro-life, and I also oppose abortion for victims of rape and incest

This stance is likely to be unpopular among most National Party members, as it is more extreme than the general views within the party. While some members may hold pro-life views, the complete opposition to abortion even in cases of rape and incest is likely to be seen as too restrictive.
