New Conservative candidate says a Handmaid's Tale reference he made after the controversial US Supreme Court ruling on abortion was to mock a "female fantasy".Dieuwe de Boer, the party's 2020 Botany candidate, tweeted the word "soon" along with a screenshot from the Handmaid's Tale - a dystopian television series based on Margaret Atwood's 1985 novel, in which a totalitarian society named Gilead subjects fertile women to child-bearing slavery.
De Boer made the post after the US Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v Wade decision that recognised a woman's constitutional right to an abortion and legalised it nationwide.
Newshub asked De Boer if he made the reference because he wanted to see a Gilead-style regime in New Zealand.
"I was very seriously mocking the feminist fantasy that not being able to kill babies in the womb will turn the world into some kind of dystopia that isn't remotely based in Christianity," he said in an email."
