The 60^th anniversary of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights [UDHR] is a time for reflection on our nation’s performance in upholding the human rights of every member of our human family. The Preamble of the Convention states; “whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.”

Article 3 of the convention states; “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.” Unborn children are members of the human family and are its weakest and most defenceless members. Unborn children at conception are endowed by their Creator with human rights, the foundation right being a right to life. These human rights are universal and inalienable. Being inalienable they can not be taken away.

“LifeMatters Volume One” is a new global DVD initiative from Choicez Media that seeks to empower young women with the skills, information and self-belief to negotiate an unplanned pregnancy with more options than abortion alone.

It is about young women being given the full picture about their options and empowered with the courage to build a magnificent life beyond the narrow belief that unplanned pregnancy is the end of their plans and hopes in life thus far.

A new study conducted by the Otago University reveals that women having an abortion have a 30% risk of developing mental ill health, higher than other women who chose life for their baby. The study was reported in the British Journal of Psychiatry. Abortions increased the risk of severe depression, anxiety and substance abuse by one third. The study concluded that childbirth and miscarriages do not adversely affect women’s mental health.The authors, Professor David Fergusson and two other doctors concluded that anywhere from 1.5 to 5.5 percent of all mental health disorders seen in New Zealand result from women having abortions.

Predictably, the convictions for the inhuman torture and murder of little Nia Glassie have generated the usual outrage, breast-beating, anger, criticism and demands for something to be done. 

Read more from Garth George’s article in the NZ Herald on Thursday 27th November on his views on the connection between abortion and child abuse.

In November 2008 Right to Life made a submission to the Minister of Health the Hon Tony Ryall, requesting that consideration be given to instructing District Health Boards in New Zealand that provide abortions to require that women considering an abortion be offered the opportunity to view an ultrasound scan of their baby.

It is the normal procedure in New Zealand that women considering an abortion undergo an ultrasound scan prior to signing a consent form for an abortion. Our Society has recently written to the 13 District Health Boards in New Zealand that provide abortions, seeking information on the protocol followed with ultrasound scans taken for women considering an abortion. The following District Health Boards [DHB’s], Otago, Hawkes Bay and Taranaki advised that women having an ultrasound scan were offered the opportunity to view the scan. But…

The tragic and callous murder of little Nia Glassie has touched the heart of our nation which is deeply moved with grief and mourning.. How could this tragic abuse of a beautiful and defenceless three year old happen? We protest that it must never ever happen again but it will.

New Zealand shamefully has one of the highest rates of child abuse in the world. These statistics are but the tip of the iceberg, for violence against children begins in the womb. Abortion entails violence against a defenceless and innocent child a member of the human family. How can we protest at the violence perpetrated on Nia Glassie yet accept violence against unborn children?

The election of Senator Barack Obama as the 44^th President of the United States is a victory for a culture of death. He is the most pro- abortion President in the history of the United States. His voting record in the United States Senate was shamefully totally pro=abortion and anti-life. He even voted in the Illinois Senate against a Bill that would have given protection to the life of a child born alive following an abortion.

This year’s general election marks a crisis in our nation’s history. Under a Labour led government our nation has endured for the previous nine years, unprecedented social engineering that has damaged the moral fibre of our society. The community is warned that the election of a Labour, Greens coalition government could unveil a further round of damaging social engineering. This could further threaten the lives of unborn children, the elderly and the place of marriage in our society.

The first duty of the State is to protect the right to life of all of its citizens. It has a special duty to protect the lives of the weak and defenceless in society. The State has an overwhelming interest and duty to protect the lives of its future citizens.

The following letter has been sent to the leaders of the 9 major political parties

Re Judicial Review of Abortion Supervisory Committee.

The government has a duty to uphold the rule of law. In the event that the Court of Appeal upholds the judgment of the High Court should your Party be in government at that time it would be appreciated if you would give an assurance that your Party would use its influence to ensure that the Abortion Supervisory Committee complies with the requirements of the judgment of the High Court.

Right to Life is disappointed that the Ministry of Justice has refused a request made by the Society to the Abortion Supervisory Committee under the Official Information Act. The request was to provide the names and qualifications of persons appointed by the Committee to a new Abortion Standards Advisory Committee. The refusal represents a serious threat to our civil liberties. The public have a right in a free society to know who are appointed to government bodies and what their qualifications are.

First it was going to be only those who were dying and wanted to who would be euthanased.

The Right to die they said, was a human right

Next it was those who were dying, did not want to but were anyway.

Now one of Britain’s "leading" "moral" philosophers is saying that the demented have a moral duty to die.

Welcome to the brave new world.

Family First NZ has today launched a website highlighting the conscience and family related bills voted on over the past 6 years, and how each MP and political party has voted.

The website is www.valueyourvote.org.nz and has an accompanying pamphlet.
