If you’re still masking… thank you! It might feel lonely but you’re not alone. Many of us are still wearing masks and still trying to break chains of transmission. As the world falls apart…protecting your health and the health of those around you is paramount. It’s resistance and community care.

Drug testing has (by design) captured all the attention, but it's nowhere near the worst bit. For more than 30 years, benefit levels have been kept lower than the cost of staying alive. On purpose. Campaigning on the back of cutting them even further is monstrous. The cruelty is the point.

We wonder why 🤔 Pregnancy Choice, one of the largest Crisis Pregnancy Centre (CPC) is only NOW putting a disclaimer on their website? They're disinformation, antichoice centres. They say, "Our supporters are not professionally registered counsellors, midwives, doctors, or medical specialists" #nzpol
Pregnancy Choice website screenshot where they have put up a disclaimer which says they're not liable for any damages or anything they say because they are not medical professionals and are all staff. 

📢 ⁉️ We wonder 🤔 why one of the largest Crisis Pregnancy Centres (CPC) in Aotearoa New Zealand - Pregnancy Choice, is only *NOW* putting a disclaimer on their website? This is new. 

We have been vocal 🔊📢 about the disinformation from CPCs and the very real danger CPCs put pregnant people in by their information and services they offer. So if they're just a bunch of volunteers with no expertise - why are they giving medical advice and in some cases, offering pregnancy scans!?

Every. Single. Crisis Pregnancy Centre in Aotearoa NZ is anti-choice and anti-lgbtqia. These are anti-abortion centres.
