In March 2021, Kanongata'a-Suisuiki voted against the proposed Contraception, Sterilisation, and Abortion (Safe Areas) Amendment Act 2022, claiming that the creation of safe areas around abortion providers amounted to the "erosion of freedom of expression." She also voted against the bill during its second and third readings in 2022.
