The decision to cut funding is very good news as Komen was funding abortion when numerous studies have pointed to a strong link between abortion and increased risk of breast cancer.

The cut-off of funding is the result of the charity’s newly adopted criteria barring grants to organizations that are under investigation by local, state or federal authorities. Planned Parenthood is currently under investigation by  authorities to determine allegations that Planned Parenthood, which is the largest abortion provider in the US, handles criminal conduct improperly, and has mishandled federal funding to pay for abortions.

The very  latest news from the US (Feb 3)  is that there is a danger that the Komen charity may cave in to the mafia like pressures applied by Planned Parenthood and the media who are right now leaning on Komen’s CEO Nancy Brinkler to just let this go.  You can help by contacting / emailing Nancy  Brinkler at Komen and expressing your support for the decision.

Dear Mr Hill,

Re: Family Planning Booklet- “Abortion – What You Need to Know”

I wish to lay a formal complaint against the New Zealand Family Planning Association for its production of an abortion information booklet, “Abortion  – What You Need to Know,” copy enclosed. The title of the booklet infers that the booklet contains all of the information that a woman faced with an unplanned pregnancy needs to know. The booklet was approved and funded by the Ministry of Health. It is contended that the title is misleading as there is important information that a woman needs to know that is omitted from the booklet. The Code of Health Rights set out in the Health and Disability Act states in Right 6, Right to Be Fully Informed, that every consumer has the right to the information that a reasonable consumer, in that situation, would expect to receive. I believe that the following information should have been provided in the booklet:

On page one of the booklet it lists a number of options that are available to the  pregnant woman. It lists parenting, adoption or fostering and abortion. There is no information on where a woman will get assistance on the first three options. There are organisations in the community that will provide compassionate care and assistance for the woman wishing to choose one of these options. Why is this information not provided?

Information on the possible neo-natal consequences of having an abortion

That having an abortion in the second or third trimester increases the risk of having a baby with a low weight birth in a subsequent pregnancy by 35 per cent and of having a premature baby by 36 per cent. If a woman should have more than one abortion the risk increases by 72 per cent for a low birth weight. The risk of a premature baby increases by 93 per cent. Prematurity is a leading cause of neonatal deaths. Why is this important information not being given to women?

Information on the link between abortion and breast cancer

It is a scientific fact that pregnancy provides protection from breast cancer. This protection is lost if a woman has an abortion. There have been 38 international studies on the abortion breast cancer link [ABC], 29 studies showed a substantial increase in breast cancer. There have been recent studies in China, Sri Lanka, Turkey and the United States. These all reveal a substantial increase in breast cancer as a result of having an abortion. In Ireland where abortion is illegal, that country has a breast cancer rate half that of the United States where abortions are readily available. When abortion was unlawful in Romania, it had the lowest rate of breast cancer in Europe while  now that abortion is lawful it has one of the highest rates of breast cancer in Europe. Why is this important information not being given to women? 

Information on the possible psychological consequences of abortion

Professor David Fergusson of the Christchurch School of Medicine who describes himself as “pro-choice” in 2006 produced a study of 500 women which revealed that those women who had an abortion, had suffered major depression during the previous four years. They were also twice as likely as those women who had a live birth to drink alcohol to dangerous levels  and three times as likely to be dependent on illicit drugs. Those who had an abortion also suffered elevated rates of depression, anxiety and suicidal behaviours. A recent study by Professor Priscilla Green in the United States revealed that 81 per cent of women who had an abortion suffered mental illness as a result of having an abortion. Why is this important information not being given to women?

Information on alternatives to abortion

On page one of the booklet it lists a number of options that are available to the  pregnant woman. It lists parenting, adoption or fostering and abortion. There is no information on where a woman will get assistance on the first three options. There are organisations in the community that will provide compassionate care and assistance for the woman wishing to choose one of these options. Why is this information not provided?

Information on abortion methods

On page eight there is information on abortion methods. The information is incomplete and misleading. The booklet states that an abortion entails the removal of the pregnancy. An abortion entails the killing of an unborn child either by a medical or surgical abortion. In an Early Medical Abortion [EMA] the mifepristone blocks the embryo from nourishment and causes the embryo to die of starvation; this information is not provided for the woman. The booklet states that for a surgical abortion the pregnancy is removed by suction. The truth is that the abortionist inserts a suction tube into the uterus, at which point the arms, legs, feet, hands, bones and organs, including a once-beating heart, functioning nervous system and lungs of the fetus will be sucked into the tube and thrown away. Since the head of the child is too big to be vacuumed away, the doctor will then use tongs to crush the head of the baby so it can be removed piece by piece. Then, in order to ensure there are no bone fragments or body parts left behind, he will attempt one final vacuuming of the woman’s uterus. The booklet makes no reference to the destruction of a child. The mother is entitled to have this information to save her from a potential lifetime of grief and sorrow at the loss of her child.

In conclusion, Right to Life believes that the booklet is seriously deficient in providing women faced with an unplanned pregnancy with the necessary information that they need to  assist them  in making decisions that are in the best interest of themselves and their unborn children. The emphasis is on the rights and needs of the mother with no recognition given to the needs and rights of the child. It completely ignores the right of a father to protect the life of the child that he has fathered. In our opinion the booklet is designed to obscure the reality of abortion and to encourage vulnerable and distressed women to have an abortion believing that it is a simple and safer procedure than giving birth to their children. It is not. An abortion entails the violent destruction of an innocent and helpless unborn child; it is violence against both the mother and her child.

It is mentioned that the Ministry of Health has an acceptable abortion information booklet previously published and distributed to general practitioners in New Zealand by the Ministry titled “Considering an Abortion what are Your Options?”  This booklet was highly acclaimed by doctors. We therefore request that in the interest of women’s health and wellbeing you give consideration to our complaint and request Family Planning to withdraw this grossly misleading booklet.

Yours sincerely

Ken Orr

Secretary

When I was expecting our second baby, I felt great. Minimal morning sickness, lots of energy, and so much joie de vivre it was positively annoying. Compared to the first time around it was a doddle, but, even more than that, I felt as if I was positively benefiting from carrying this little person about, kicks and aches and all.

One day my husband remarked that he had seen an article online which said that women did in fact receive ‘something’ from their unborn babies which might benefit their health. "It’s why you live longer then us men apparently," he added. I looked up the article in the New Scientist which reported that a team at the Tufts-New England Medical Center in Boston showed that fetal cells were transferred from the unborn baby which seemed to help to heal skin wounds in the mother, both during and after pregnancy. It was pretty amazing stuff.

Now, as reported last week on LifeSiteNews, these and many other amazing findings have been explored by science writer Jena Pinctott who draws on studies in biology, reproductive genetics and epigenetics and concludes that a baby’s fetal cells "repair and rejuvenate moms."

She gathers the evidence in her book "Do Chocolate Lovers Have Sweeter Babies?: The Surprising Science of Pregnancy", and what has been revealed is simply astounding.

Eminent experts say that the fetal cells given by the baby, through the placenta, to the mother are a like a gift that can protect and help her for the rest of her life, especially if she becomes critically ill.

For example, some of the fetal cells that are passed along to the mother are stem cells – and they can then become liver cells, or brain cells or thyroid cells when they are needed to help the mother battle illness. And there seems to be no downside: this is a thank you gift, from baby to mother.

Isn’t that a breathtaking revelation? Doesn’t it make the wonder of life seem even more miraculous?

The synergy and incredible beauty of the exchange left me in awe at the meticulous planning of the Man Above. Truly we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

There will of course be a tiny minority of people – mostly screechy pro-aborts – who will try to reject this good news, They are the type of people that are still droning on with lame descriptions of a baby as a parasite and a burden.

They won’t want to welcome any news that shows that not only is a child a gift – the child also gives a gift, and a precious one at that.

But most people will find what science has now uncovered to be absolutely mind-blowing : so let’s celebrate this good news, and appreciate our babies for giving us a health boost as well as an opportunity to experience unconditional love.

Let me just add that I was sick as a dog during my subsequent pregnancies, so clearly the easy ride with the second baby was just a lucky break. But now I’ve got all those fetal cells to help me with problems that arise in the future. So, thanks kids.

Minister of Foreign Affairs,

Dear Mr McCully,

Government funding – NZFPA  IPPF & UNFPA Official Information Act Request

I wish to request under the Official Information Act the amount of funding that the New Zealand government has provided in 2010 and 2011 to the New Zealand Family Planning Association [NZFPA], the International Planned Parenthood Federation [IPPF] and the United Nations Population Fund [UNFPA].

Right to Life is concerned at information recently received concerning a confidential audit of UNICEF and UNFPA that found “gross” failures in transparency and surprisingly billions of dollars of unspent cash. Both agencies refused to disclose information on staff costs and travel. The auditor found that donors have “little knowledge regarding the ultimate destiny” of funds.

It is understood that a draft report written by the consulting firm IDC at the request of the government of Norway was given to Fox News in the United States.  UNFPA and UNICEF refused to answer Fox News’ questions, other than claiming the cash reserves were earmarked for future work on programs.

The audit of five UN agencies sought to discover “where does the money go.” The report found UNFPA and UNICEF had $3.2 billion in cash in 2009. UNICEF, which is free to spend money where it wants despite the project that earned it, gained $109 million in interest income in 2008. The United Nations Development Program had $5 billion in cash reserves, invested large amounts on bonds, and increased personnel costs 80% in the last decade. These together with the World Food Program (which alone was judged transparent and its performance “impressive”) had $12.2 billion in unspent cash. The United Nations High Commission on Refugees did not have a cash stockpile but refused to disclose spending, particularly on staff costs.

The report found UNFPA was unable, or unwilling, to account for $200 million a year funnelled to governments and non-governmental groups. It refused to disclose details of wages, salaries, travel, consultant costs, and other items. The report declared, “UNFPA fails grossly” in its official commitment to transparency.

Details on UNICEF’s overhead were lacking, and scraps of information on expenditures make “it difficult to track use of funds from headquarters down to the ultimate beneficiaries on the ground.” It, too, could not account for expenditures within countries, which is the majority of its spending, earning a designation of “gross failure.”

Several UN agencies are increasingly focusing on giving policy advice and advocacy, and relying on others to deliver goods and services. They form vague strategic plans at headquarters that defy tracking outcomes or progress within countries. The UN refugee agency delegates most of its program activities to “implementing partners” that do the work on the ground.

The study warned that the hoard of money “implies that substantial donor funding is not being used for development purposes.” Donors may be reluctant to fund the UN until the “reserves are utilized.”

For years UN agencies have resisted divulging their finances. Government officials have suspected the lack of transparency hides lavish salaries and expensive travel. Diverting funds to non-governmental groups provides a coterie of accomplices who defend the UN agencies.

Shadowy accounting often signals systemic waste, fraud and abuse. In a moment of candour in 2007, a UNFPA executive boasted at a conference that, though the agency was barred from directly funding abortion, it disburses money to abortion providers.

An examination of UNFPA annual reports finds its budget ballooned from $249.9 million in 1999 to $870 million in 2010. Despite its vast resources and audit failure, in November it urged leaders to “galvanize greater political, financial support for family planning.”

The NZFPA is a loyal affiliate of the IPPF. It is the major abortion referral agency in New Zealand and supports the decriminalisation of abortion and the withdrawal of legal protection for the human rights of unborn children. Both UNFPA and the IPPF continue to support China’s one child family policy with its human rights abuses. In 1983 the IPPF welcomed the Chinese Family Planning Association into full membership saying that the goals of the Chinese Association were entirely consistent with its own.

We now ask you as minister,  Is the government aware of the audit conducted of these United Nations Agencies on behalf of the Norwegian government and is the government concerned that funding provided by the government to these audited agencies is being used for the purposes that it was given?

It is disappointing that the New Zealand government continues to provide funding to the UNFPA the IPPF and the NZFPA. Right to Life requests that funding of the UNFPA the IPPF and the NZFPA for the worldwide promotion of abortion and a culture of death cease.

Yours sincerely

Ken Orr

Secretary

The above video is from the Women’s Rights Without Frontiers Website. To watch the video click on the graphic.

Watch this short video to learn the truth about “family planning” in China.  Then share this video with your friends.  The world must know! 

The Committee reports that the total number of appointed certifying consultants continues to fall each year with fewer applications for new consultants being received and many consultants choosing not to apply to have their appointments renewed.  The Committee notes that the “workforce” appears to be aging with fewer specialist being available.

The approval of two certifying consultants is required to authorise the killing of an unborn child. A consultant receives a fee of $135 for a 10 to 15 minute face to face consultation with a woman seeking an abortion. The Committee reports that fees to consultants totalled $4,551,929 [GST exclusive] for the year ending 30 June 2011. The highest paid consultant received $138,915 for approving 1028 abortions, while declining only one. The second highest paid consultant received $135,270 for approving 1000 abortions and declining just two.

There are more than 11,000 doctors registered in New Zealand, 3,500 being general practitioners.  Right to Life applauds those doctors who are faithful to their medical ethics by upholding the right to life of their unborn patients and protecting the health and welfare of mothers facing an unplanned pregnancy.

Abortions kill innocent and helpless unborn children, they also damage women’s physical and mental health and may cause the mother a lifetime of grief and sorrow. Doctors who authorise and perform abortions may genuinely believe that they are acting in the best interest of women. It is however always wrong to kill the innocent. The unborn are also patients. Abortion violates the human rights of unborn children who are the weakest and most defenceless members of the human family. Right to Life urges these doctors to promote a culture of life by respecting the right to life of the unborn and to refuse to authorise or execute their killing. Right to Life calls upon them to promote open adoption as the loving option.

NZ Nurses Association,

Dear Susanne   Re: Conscientious Objection – Abortion

Recently our Society was approached by a senior nurse employed by a district health board. She was distressed and concerned that she was obliged by her employer to participate in abortions. She believed that it was always wrong to kill the innocent and a violation of her nursing ethics. She was therefore opposed to being involved in the killing of innocent unborn babies because it was a violation of the child’s human rights, the foundation right being a right to life.

The nurse was unaware that Parliament in passing the Contraception Sterilisation and Abortion Act in 1977 provided protection for the conscience of doctors, nurses and any other persons from performing or assisting in abortions. Right to Life was pleased to be able to help her by informing her of her legal conscience rights.

The Contraception Sterilisation and Abortion Act 1977, [CS & A Act] Sec 46, provides protection for conscientious objection. The section reads –I, Notwithstanding anything in any other enactment, or any rule of law, or the terms of any oath or of any contract [whether of employment or otherwise], no registered medical practitioner, registered nurse, or other person shall be under any obligation-

[a] To perform or assist in the performance of an abortion or any operation undertaken or to be undertaken for the purpose of rendering the patient sterile:

The section goes on to say that it is unlawful for any employer to deny employment to any employee who refuses a duty as outlined in this section. Every person who suffers loss under this section may claim damages from the person responsible.

Right to Life believes from information received that there may be other nurses employed by district health boards who are distressed at being required to assist in abortions against their conscience, unaware of the protection provided by section 46 of the C S and A Act 1977.

Before any nurse is required to assist in abortions, Right to Life believes that the nurse should be advised by her employer of the protection provided by section 46, of the C S & A Act 1977. To ensure that your members are aware of their rights, our Society believes that your Association should inform them of this important legal protection provided for their conscience.

I would be grateful if you would advise me of what action you will take on this important issue.

Yours sincerely

Ken Orr

Secretary

Fifty entries from around N.Z. – even one from Australia – reduced to 12 for the Finals Night on December 3^rd at Auckland’s Greenlane Christian Centre assured the audience of

approximately 250 of high quality performances in both categories. Judges Susan Elliott, Louise Lumsden and Robert Loretz admitted to great difficulty in choosing the winners and place-getters.

Second in the “Open” category was Philip van der Wel (Hamilton) and third, Ivonga Green (Auckland) In the “College/Tertiary” category, Naomi Ludlow (Tauranga) was second and Eliza Benge (Lower Hutt) was third.

Contest Organiser and Chairman of Voice for Life Bay of Plenty Charitable Trust,

Don Brebner, was pleased at the number and quality of the Entrants. “Considering that a condition of entry is that song themes must in some way reflect respect for life – can be at any age or stage from conception to natural death – this contest is neither a straight singing competition nor a talent quest. The judges must look for that unique combination of meaningful message and original melody that can inspire an audience.”

Mr. Brebner also noted that the collaboration between the Tauranga-based Trust, and the National body, Voice for Life Inc., had led to an excellent first performance in Auckland.

Chairman,

Voice for Life Bay of Plenty Charitable Trust.

Below are Operation Rescue’s Top Ten stories for 2011. Each of these stories represents achievements that are the result of OR’s efforts and leadership throughout the year. We thank God for allowing us the privilege of laboring in the pro-life movement side by side with so many fine activists across the nation. This work would not be possible without their partnership and the support and prayers of so many faithful people. We look forward to 2012 with excitement and anticipation of greater things to come.

1. Texas Abortion Abuses Exposed

Operation Rescue joined forced with The Survivors to conduct a three-month undercover investigation of randomly-selected abortion clinics in Texas. That investigation uncovered widespread abortion abuses including HIPAA violations, illegal disposal of aborted baby remains, violations of the Texas informed consent and parental notification laws, and other infractions.

Operation Rescue filed complaints with three state agencies. As a result, two abortion clinics and Stericycle, a waste disposal company that contracts with abortion clinics nationwide, was fined a total of $83,000. The Texas Medical Board is now in the process of holding hearings against the Texas 10 – ten abortionists who face discipline for violating the law and standard of care in Texas. Because OR distributed reports detailing the results of the investigation to every Texas legislator, new pro-life bills were passed that provide another layer of accountability for Texas’ out-of control abortion industry.

2. Exposing Carhart’s Maryland Late-term Abortion Business

Information gathered by Operation Rescue led to the discovery of LeRoy Carhart’s plans to relocate his late-term abortion business to Germantown Reproductive Health Services in Germantown, Maryland. Operation Rescue worked with local activists to expose Carhart’s plans and the Maryland Coalition for Life was birthed from those efforts.

Since then the pro-life movement in Maryland has grown and flourished. Over three thousand volunteers take regular shifts praying and offering help to abortion bound moms. A pro-life referral office was established directly across the parking lot from GRHC, which aids pregnant women. The Summer of Mercy 2.0, sponsored by Operation Rescue in August, brought national attention to Carhart’s grisly late-term abortions.

In addition, a complaint against Carhart was filed with the Maryland Board of Physicians alleging that he misled them on his medical license application in order to gain licensure in that state. After a full investigation, Carhart was issued a formal letter of admonishment that goes into his permanent record.

3. New Mexico Abortion Cartel Exposed

After the closure of the late-term abortion clinic in Wichita, KS, Operation Rescue learned that two of the abortionists from the Kansas clinic were relocating to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Two of our interns, Bud and Tara Shaver, felt the call of God to move to Albuquerque and work to stop abortions there. The Shavers now work with Project Defending Life, a group that works in cooperation with Operation Rescue to expose abortion abuses in New Mexico.

Together, the groups uncovered and exposed a series of 911 calls that were evidence of life-threatening abortion complications at two Albuquerque abortion clinics. Complaints were filed with the Medical Board and the investigation into these unsafe clinics is progressing. In addition, the role of the University of New Mexico in the abortion industry has been fully documented, and efforts are underway to convince the UNM Regents to cease all participation in abortion and abortion training.

4. Abortionists Face Prosecution

Part of Operation Rescue’s work involves ensuring that abortionists who violate the law are prosecuted and 2011 was a banner year. Several abortionists faced prosecutions as a direct result of Operation Rescue’s work.

One example is the case of Nicola Riley. Maryland authorities suspended Riley’s medical license after they discovered her part in a botched abortion that led to the discovery of an illegal secret late-term abortion mill operated by the nefarious abortionist Steven Chase Brigham. Operation Rescue dug deeper into Riley’s background, discovering that not only did Riley have a criminal background, but that she had lied to four states about her criminal conviction and incarceration. Operation Rescue reported the truth about her record in Maryland, Wyoming, Virginia, and her home state of Utah. As a result, Riley’s application in Virginia was denied, she surrendered her license in Wyoming, she faces additional charges in Maryland, and is restricted in Utah. She is no longer allowed to commit abortions in any state.

In Kansas, the Board of Healing Arts held a six day disciplinary hearing against abortionist Ann Kristen Neuhaus based on a complaint filed by Operation Rescue. The hearings revealed that woefully inadequate mental health exams were used to justify late-term abortions.

Meanwhile, California abortionist Andrew Rutland surrendered his license after an abortion death was ruled a homicide. Operation Rescue worked with the Medical Board to bring Rutland to justice.

Other abortionists across the nation have also faced prosecution, including the widely publicized case of Pennsylvania abortionist Kermit Gosnell and his 8 associates. Gosnell faces murder charges for killing 7 newborn babies and one patient during failed abortions. OR was among the first to obtain a copy of the Grand Jury Report and the first to publish the shocking photos of Gosnell’s victims online.

5. More Abortion Clinics Closing than Ever

In the past eighteen months, nearly 50 abortion clinics have closed their doors for good. Among them was the infamous Eve Surgical Center in Los Angeles, California, where the now-banned Partial Birth Abortion method was invented. That clinic was the subject of Operation Rescue protests and years of prayers.

In 1991 there were over 2,200 abortion clinics. Today, because of the work of OR and other groups around the nation, there remain just over 670, and that number is decreasing by the week, dramatically illustrating that the abortion cartel is imploding.

6. Kansas Planned Parenthood Prosecution Proceeds

In 2007, Planned Parenthood was charged with 107 criminal counts related to illegal late-term abortions and manufacturing evidence to cover their crimes. For years, Operation Rescue has worked to keep this case in the public eye and initiate grassroots campaigns to ensure their prosecution. This year, the case continued to move forward even though it was revealed that former Attorney General Steve Six destroyed crucial evidence against Planned Parenthood. Six was an appointee of Kathleen Sebelius, a former Kansas governor who now serves as Obama’s Secretary of Health who is known as a radical supporter of unrestricted abortion. But the attempt to destroy the prosecution failed. The case now moves forward on 58 remaining counts and a criminal investigation has been launched to determine if the record shredding by Six broke the law. Operation Rescue continues its own investigation to get to the bottom of the Sebelius-era corruption.

7. Record Year for Pro-Life Legislation

An historic number of pro-life bills flooded legislatures in 2011, many of them passing into law. Some of the legislation was based on investigative reports and other work by Operation Rescue.

After Operation Rescue released an investigative report on Planned Parenthood of the Heartland’s telemed or “webcam” abortion scheme, several states worked to outlaw the risky distribution of abortion pills without the presence of a licensed physician. In all seven states passed laws that effectively ban telemed abortions in 2011.

Six states also passed late-term abortion bans after 20 weeks based on fetal pain. The original Nebraska law was passed in reaction to Operation Rescue’s exposure of late-term abortionist LeRoy Carhart’s plans to turn his Nebraska abortion clinic into a late-term abortion Mecca.

Operation Rescue has also lent support to groundbreaking clinic regulations in Kansas and to the Heartbeat Bill in Ohio and Kansas. Laws reflect the attitudes of the culture, and by the successes seen in the 2011 legislative season, America is more pro-life than ever.

8. Kept Wichita Abortion-Free

Since the closure of Wichita’s last abortion clinic in 2009, there have been efforts to reopen an abortion clinic in that city. In early 2011, Operation Rescue learned of two local physicians planned to open separate clinics. One physician quit after Operation Rescue exposed his plans to the community. Operation Rescue launched protests and worked with landlords that have denied the second abortionist, Mila Means, office space for her abortion enterprise. Another effort was launched by former abortion lobbyist Julie Burkhart, who has only been able to raise half the money she needs to open a clinic. Because of the efforts of Operation Rescue and other local pro-life activists, Wichita remains abortion-free.

9. Abortion Whistleblowers

In January, 2011, Operation Rescue awarded the first $25,000 reward in our Abortion Whistleblowers Program to former abortion worker Kim Nichols for coming forward with information that led to the arrest and conviction of Massachusetts abortionist Rapin Osathanondh in the death of Laura Hope Smith in 2007. Wracked with guilt over Laura’s needless death and refusing to go along with Osathanondh’s illegal efforts to conceal his negligence, Nichols worked with Laura’s mother, Eileen Smith, to bring Osathanondh to justice. In turn, Smith was advised by Operation Rescue. As a result, Osathanondh permanently lost his medical license, served jail time on a manslaughter conviction, and was forced to pay Laura’s family $2 million. Read more about the Abortion Whistleblower’s Reward Program.

10. Thwarted Confirmation of Abortion Crony to Federal Appeals Court

President Barack Obama nominated former Kansas Attorney General Steve Six to a life-time appointment on the Federal Appellate Court. Operation Rescue went to work exposing Six’s actions to block the legitimate prosecution of Planned Parenthood on 107 criminal charges and initiating grassroots opposition to Six’s nomination. As a result, both Kansas Senators refused to endorse him and eventually the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee dropped their efforts to confirm him. Keeping this radical pro-abortion activist off the Federal Bench ensures that he will not be able to continue his over protections of the abortion cartel. Now, ironically, Six is the subject of a criminal investigation for destroying critical evidence against Planned Parenthood to protect them from prosecution.

LifeNews.com Note: Cheryl Sullenger is a leader of Operation Rescue, a Kansas-based pro-life that monitors abortion practitioners and exposes their illegal and unethical practices. The group is known for serving as a watchdog of Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses.

Media Release

The Greens Hidden Agenda

The election of 14 Members of Parliament from the  Greens   Party is a matter of grave concern. The electorate should be aware of the hidden agenda of the Greens Party.

In 2008 in the Victorian Parliament the Greens voted for the decriminalisation of abortion which meant that it was no longer a crime to kill an unborn child. Victoria now has the most permissive abortion law in the world. The  law  provides for abortion on demand and a woman can now demand an abortion for any reason.

The Greens in Australia support same sex marriage and same sex adoption. The Greens also support the education system teaching that homosexuality is normal.

In 2010 the Greens promoted Bills to legalise euthanasia in the New South Wales, Western Australian and Victorian Parliaments. Senator Bob Brown, the leader of the Greens in Australia has said that passing euthanasia laws was a top priority.

The electorate should recognise that the Greens represent in our Parliament, a threat to the protection of the right to life of unborn children, the elderly and the ill and to the institution of marriage as exclusively between one woman and one man. The Greens Party in Germany has similar policies.

It is disappointing that the media did not challenge the Greens Party before the general election to reveal its hidden agenda. The Greens Party is a serious threat to the sanctity of life ethic and the right to life of every person from conception to natural death. It is also a threat to the sanctity of marriage.

We should recognise that the long term objective of the Greens is to reduce the world’s population, creating a world in which nature is the dominant “right” with humanity subservient to that “deity”.

The Greens captured 11.6 per cent of the votes cast in the general election.  it is believed that many voted for the Greens unaware of their hidden agenda. Right to Life calls upon the  Greens Party to   confirm their hidden agenda.
