The news had frowned faces of all parents across New Zealand soon after they heard about some schools that are encouraging teenage girls to practice secret abortion, reported the Sunday Star-Times.

Further, it had published some statistics to reveal that approximately 3,950 New Zealand girls aged 11 to 19 had experienced abortions in 2009 whereas 79 teens were observed with very less age between 11 and 14 years.

In 2004, a lawmaker, Judith Collins, advocated an amendment to section 38 of the Care of Children Act 2004, which permits women for abortion despite their small age and suggested to prevent girls under-16 from an abortion without their parents' knowledge. However, the amendment was voted down.

An annoyed mother, whose 16-year-old daughter had an abortion with the help of a school counselor, had notified the Star-Times and said: "I was horrified. Horrified that she'd had to go through that on her own, and horrified her friends and counselors had felt that she shouldn't talk to us”.

Additionally, a teacher had admitted that she familiar with a student who had 2 abortions although her parents are aware of just one. Whereas, attorney Kathryn Dalziel had blamed the health privacy code and said that it had bounded the educators in New Zealand.
