Media Release 13 April 2020
There is something seriously wrong with the government’s priorities when the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern declares that churches should be closed as non- essential and abortion clinics remain open as they provide an “essential service”.
While all attention is being focused on the current lock down, the abortion industry is promoting telehealth medical abortions as the solution to provide access to this “essential service”.
The passing of the appalling anti-life and anti-feminist Abortion Legislation Act perpetrated by the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern now allows medical abortions to be provided by ringing an 0800 number. The lethal abortion drugs are then couriered to the women. This is a deplorable abandonment of women who deserve to be treated with compassion and respect and given a face to face consultation.
The Prime Minister and her government have placed the nation in lock down to save lives, but has no regard for the unborn. Since the lock down began on the 25 March two elderly women and two elderly men have tragically died from coronavirus, however an estimated 665 innocent and defenceless unborn children have been murdered, mainly in Public Hospitals, authorised and funded by the government as an essential and core health service.
Prime Minister we have to ask you, why is their killing treated as an “essential service” and why are their lives considered of little value and not worthy of protection. Why are they not “one of us”?
Human life commences at conception and it is endowed by its Creator with an inalienable right to life. It should be received with profound respect and afforded the protection that is due to the human person. Every embryo, foetus, unborn child is a unique and unrepeatable miracle of God’s loving creation.
The Contraception Sterilisation and Abortion Act 1977 has been amended following the enactment of the new Abortion legislation Act 2020 and provides protection under section 14, for the conscience of those who respect life and want nothing to do with the killing of unborn children. No person is obliged under the amended act to provide, or assist with providing any of the following, contraception, sterilisation, or abortion.
We all have a duty to protect human life from the moment of its conception. Right to Life believes that under the amended legislation that pharmacists have the legal right to refuse on conscience grounds, to fill prescriptions for lethal abortion drugs and that courier firms and their staff the right to refuse to receive and deliver consignments of abortion drugs to women or to any other address.
Mifepristone and misoprostol drugs are not medication but rather murder pills. The sole purpose of Mifepristone is to starve a growing human embryo of nourishment and cause its death. The purpose of Misoprostol in a medical abortion is to expel the human embryo from its mother’s womb.
When a doctor sends abortion pills to a woman whom he has spoken to over the phone, all medical supervision for the good of the mother ceases.
He does not know who, when, where or by whom the lethal drugs will be taken.
He does not know if a woman is being coerced or threatened with violence to take the pills.
He does not know whether the woman will suffer an adverse reaction to the medication in what can only be described as a setting where medical attention is not immediately available.
Telehealth will be used to hide incest, rape and violence against women.
This abandonment by the doctor is unethical and unprofessional and constitutes a further victimisation of vulnerable women. Our women deserve better than to be abandoned in their hour of need. The result of Telehealth is dead babies and wounded and damaged women. How long is this war on women going to continue?

A nation that kills its unborn children is intrinsically evil. This person needs to be evicted from Government and tried as a traitor against the future generations of Aotearoa.
She has sneaked this in while we in lockdown. Every New Zealander who finds out thinks it’s disgusting. The prime minister is evil not her people.
My husband and I agree it is wrong to romove a 20week old infant from its mother and say it is OK they can live. We have a friend who’s twins were born about that time they are healthy happy kids, and much loved. They the professionals, don’t talk about the after effects of abortion either. There is a huge emotional toll
Totally agree Cheryl
Thank you for defending the innocent, your work is essential.
I see home abortions also recently enacted in the U.K during this coronavirus period. .Also because abortion is an ‘essential service’ and it must be available even during coronavirus .
Thank you David. Please pray that those defending innocent human life will be given wisdom and strength to fight this battle.
If you don’t want an abortion, don’t have one. Ardern hasn’t made them mandatory. She has merely stopped them being illegal. What is wrong with you?
If you don’t want a toddler, don’t have one. Just get rid of it. If you don’t want a teenager dispose of them.
How would you feel about Ardern merely making murder of toddlers and teenagers from being illegal, not mandatory of course, just legal! Think about it.
If you don’t want to create unwanted toddlers, why are you forcing women to convert unwanted embryos into babies?
Human,
Toddlers, infants, children and teenager AND the unborn are created as part of the natural biological process called Life. Creation is an act of the Creator. Not wanting them is an attitude of certain humans. Your use of the word convert suggests you view persons as little more than items on an assembly line which can be discarded at will. No we are not forcing women to convert unwanted embryo’s into babies. A human embryo is a human being a developing person that will become a toddler, a child, a teenager and adult, unless someone like an abortionist goes into the womb and dismembers it violently. Some human beings seem to think the decision to kill an unborn child because it is an inconvenience or unwanted is akin to the choice of scrapping the car they drive. You seem to believe that we have the right to kill others if they are unwanted. That belief needs to be challenged.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THE MEDICAL PRACTICE GETS PAYED TO PERFORM ABORTIONS. I KNOW OF FRIENDS WHO WOULDN’T BE HERE TODAY IF THEIR PARENTS WERE ALLOWED AN ABORTION.
NOT TO MENTION TO EFFECTS PHYSIOLOGICALLY ON THE MOTHER AND THOSE AROUND THEM. DID YOU KNOW 16 YR OLD CAN ARRANGE AN ABORTION AT SCHOOL CLINIC WITHOUT THE PARENTS CONSENT, HOW IS THAT RIGHT!! wHERE DO WE START DRAWING THE LINE
Hi Zoe
Yes. Around one and four of your peer group is missing. Denied life. Murdered for the sake of when it comes down to it…convenience.
whats wrong with you ? full term baby!!! think about it… you’re just as sick
While I disagree with your points
1. that every embryo must live and therefore the Mother has no rights in this regard as I believe EVERY PERSON has a right to their own choices especially when it comes to their own body AND religious beliefs.
2, couriers and pharmacies can choose to not comply because of their own beliefs….. saying that their beliefs can be valid BUT the mothers beliefs, wants or needs are not
I do very strongly agree with you the reasons why this telehealth service is wrong on so many levels and you so very clearly and ethically pointed them out.
I hope this service is reviewed quickly and is revoked. Ensuring that every woman must get the one on one face to face compassionate medical support she would need during that difficult time for her
Hello Jo
1 It’s not a matter of an embryo living. It is a matter of what is the unborn? Is it a human being? Yes for what other type of being can it be? Is it an innocent human being? Yes. Is it ethical to kill an unborn human being? No. Yes every person has the right to their own choices, eg what car they will buy, what ice-cream flavour they will choose. But when it comes to killing another innocent human being considered a choice, then no, this is not a choice this is murder. Following your argument then why should it not be a perfectly acceptable choice to kill a toddler if they were becoming an inconvenience. The unborn are not ‘their own body’. The unborn have a completely distinct and unique DNA sequence completely separate from the mother. They are not their mother’s body. Neither were you.
2. Should couriers be able to deliver things like automatic assault rifles? They too kill. Should a mothers beliefs, wants and “needs” mean she should be allowed to kill to solve a problem?
AT least it is good that we agree on the dangers of telehealth to the health and even life of New Zealand women..
Up to what gestational age can aborriins be done over the phone?
I thought aborrions were legalized ro protect woman from illegal and deadly back street abortions. But if it can be done at home….?
Hi Yolandi, Telehealth abortions (The delivery of abortion druge), is now legal up to 9 weeks gestation. This provision will very likely result in the death of NZ women from complications where there is no immediate medical treatment available.
No if these.woman want an abortion it’s there choice too.They should learn to take contraception,and those useless men put a condom on it.who is going to love and look after this baby when it is born.The way the world is today.Everything is expensive. Who the hell can afford a roof over there heads and then the stress of having a newborn.Its the mothers choice and God will judge them not you or anyone.Are you going to look after these unwanted babies.Its a choice no one is forcing them to have an abortion.Enough homeless in New Zealand and abuse of the children that we do have in this country..
thank you for your comments Gene. Would you apply the same reasoning for a woman to be able to kill her toddler for the same reasons? If not how is it you would justify the one and not the other?
There are hundreds of childless couples in New Zealand, who are willing to adopt children and yet cannot do so, as there is a shortage of babies awaiting adoption. What about those women choosing, instead of abortion, to have their unwanted children, and being willing to adopt them out to these childless couples. Abortion is a choice which denies this possibility of giving new life to others.

Jacinda. You’re marvellous. No one would persuade me not to vote for you. Except you. We ALL have a right to life. Abortion removes a squirming thumsucking, peering little Person, s basic right to life. Crush its beautiful little skull, destroy or save its foutal blood, belonging only to him/her, and in dependant of its mother’s at 16 weeks, and DONT CALL IT MURDER. SORRY, LOVELY JACINDA. I WAS SICK TO THE STOMACH. I’M VOTING FOR DREADFUL WINSTON,
Admin, I love your articulate savvy. GO YOU!!! Your a solid voice for the innocent who can’t yet speak for themselves. Keep it up. You will know doubt save ‘some’ lives.
