Why are our political parties silent on election policies to protect our precious unborn children?
Media Release 14 June 2026 Right to Life believes that those who seek to govern us, who are not prepared to protect the lives of our precious unborn children, should not be trusted to protect the lives of the born. Right to Life is grievously disappointed that there has been no reply to our repeated requests to the six political parties that sit in our Parliament, asking them what their election policies are to protect the lives of God’s precious infants in the next Parliame

Repeal intrinsically evil surrogacy legislation!
Media Release 6 June 2026 The NZ parliament is currently giving consideration to a government Bill, entitled : Improving Arrangements for Surrogacy, which awaits its second reading. Right to Life believes that maternal surrogacy is fundamentally and intrinsically evil. No legislation for surrogacy can be improved with amendments, surrogacy is fundamentally wrong, it is not a health service and the Surrogacy legislation should be repealed. Surrogacy is intrinsically evil,

Outlaw the slavery and killing of the unborn in New Zealand!
Media Release: 30 May 2026 Right to Life supports the passing of the Modern Slavery Bill. We are opposed to all forms of slavery and applaud the bill's objective to defend human rights.

Anzac Day – lest we forget, did they die in vain?
Media Release 26 April 2026 We must never forget the supreme sacrifice that our servicemen and service women made during wartimes, in order that future generations may be born and live in freedom and enjoy the inalienable right to life that our Creator has conferred on us at the moment of our conception. Throughout our nation there are hallowed monuments commemorating their sacrifice. Since the South African war in 1899-1902, a total of 96,241 New Zealand men and women have g

Woe to you who do not defend life!

Are Winston Peters & New Zealand First pro-life?
Media Release 13 April 2026 Right to Life questions whether Winston Peters and New Zealand First are pro-life.

Right to life believes that the first duty of those we elect to sit in our parliament, is to protect the right to life of

Why do we allow the killing of 18,000 unborn children in preference to adoption?
Media Release 9 April 2026 Right to Life believes that the killing of God’s precious infants gives great offence to our Creator and is a crime against humanity. Abortion is from the culture of death and the war against women and the family. Every woman considering an abortion in New Zealand should be fully informed on the life promoting options of parenting, adoption and fostering. Why aren’t they informed ? Right to Life believes that the extremely small number of adoptions
