About UsWe Deserve Better is a new and unique campaign hosted by Voice for Life. It is a space designed for you to engage with the latest information on the issue of abortion in New Zealand, and to hear stories from those at the coalface: women working on the ground with pregnant women and women who have had abortions.
With our current Government pushing for an abortion law reform, now is the time to start talking about abortion in a broader, more in-depth, more informed, and better way. We believe we deserve better conversations about abortion in New Zealand, and we’re here to get that conversation started. We hope you will join us. |

Meet the teamJulia de Ruiter is the media spokeswoman for We Deserve Better and leads a team of compassionate young Kiwi women who all believe - as the campaign title says - that the wahine and whānau of Aotearoa deserve better than abortion.
Julia wants to see a more balanced conversation about the issues that have been neglected in the Government’s proposed abortion law such as: adequate mental health support, protection against coercion, disability discrimination, protection & support for teens facing unexpected pregnancy and higher rates of abortion amongst Maori. Abortion is so complex - it ends one human life and can leave in it’s wake a trail of trauma, depression and grief for those involved and Julia strongly feels we deserve to be having more open conversations about this. To contact Julia please email hello@wedeservebetter.org.nz or phone 027 812 9597 |
