Pro-choice means opposing welfare 'reform'
I don't have time to write a long rant about this - it's late I only have time for the principle:
Being pro-choice means creating a world where every person who is pregnant can make a decision free of any form of coercion whether or not they want to continue the pregnancy.
The welfare reforms proposed by National are economic coercion.* Supporting women (and all pregnant people's) right to choose, means opposing these reforms and going further and demanding (among other things) a living wage for women on the DPB.
********
I'd like to say more about the 'reforms' themselves and explain why they aren't actually about getting women on the DPB into work, but misogyny and punishment. But all I have time for is this:
[Text "Want a job, Bro?" "You know I can't do your ghost jobs, John" for context see youtube]
* As are the current DPB levels which were deliberately set at levels that were unable to buy adequate food
