Do you reckon existing abortion laws in New Zealand are an affront to woman's rights?

I think that taking the right to abortion, whether right or wrong, away from the woman and putting it into the hands of a doctor definitely violates women's rights. The mother should be the ultimate decision maker in abortion cases, not the doctor. It basically says that doctors have the right to dictate the bodily functions of a woman without her consent, and that attitude in a partner is easily indicative of an abusive or controlling person, so why is it ok for doctors to have that attitude? They are responsible for diagnosing and treating diseases, nothing more.
