Upholding the sanctity of Human life and Standing Up for the Vulnerable

Prime Minister, are you really serious about protecting human life?

by Leave a Comment

It is the first duty of the State to protect the lives of every member of the community from conception to natural death and not to preside over our destruction.

The government and Parliament are commended for declaring a state of emergency to confront the threat to human life presented by the coronavirus pandemic and to protect the lives of New Zealanders. Prime Minister, when is your government going to declare a national emergency to protect the lives of the more than 13,000 unborn children who are murdered each year in abortions?

This is the same Parliament and government that only one week ago, while other Parliaments were giving urgency to debating a response to the Coronavirus pandemic, debated abortion legislation for four hours and rushed through Parliament the anti-life and anti-women Abortion Legislation Bill that would remove the right to life and facilitate the killing of our unborn children and cause damage to the physical and mental health of their mothers. The same parliament on the same day spent only 2.5 hours debating their response to the fast evolving Coronavirus pandemic.

Dr Bloomfield, Director General of Health told media all our DHBs have plans in place to scale down their current activity, which may include elective surgery and outpatient appointments to free up capacity and staff. Abortion is elective surgery. Right to Life requests that abortions be stopped to free up capacity and staff to concentrate on helping Coronavirus patients.

Prime Minister, are you really serious about wanting to protect the lives of all New Zealanders? While Coronavirus represents a grave threat with as unknown magnitude, abortion also poses a great threat to the lives of New Zealanders who are alive but not yet born. One in five defenceless children in the womb will be innocent victims of abortion. The fatality rate from abortion for the unborn is 100%. To keep things in perspective, we should be aware that since the declaration of emergency on Wednesday more than 70 unborn children have been violently killed in abortions in New Zealand.

Every day an estimated 35 innocent and defenceless unborn children are taken to our Public Hospitals to be violently killed in abortion under the pretext that this is health care. These are the same Hospitals that are now preparing to treat seriously ill patients who may contract coronavirus.

It is fervently hoped that there will be no fatalities resulting from Coronavirus during the period of lockdown. There will however be more than 1,000 unborn children killed during this initial four week period by doctors who are sworn to protect life. The deaths of all these children are preventable.

The abortion industry is deemed to be an essential service and is unaffected by the lock down. It is designated a core health service with unlimited funding and no waiting list. It is elective surgery with abortion on demand for any reason up to 20 weeks gestation and up to birth if two doctors believe that it is ‘appropriate’. There is nothing that can impede the abortion industry, not even a national emergency.

Celebrating World Down Syndrome Awareness Day

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 22nd March 2020

This week the New Zealand Parliament passed the government’s Abortion Legislation Bill which allows for the murder of unborn children diagnosed with Down syndrome up to birth.

The architect of this murderous legislation was the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern who believes that women have a right to kill their unborn children, including those with Down syndrome up to birth.

Right to Life shares the fears of the Down community that with the passing of the extremist anti-life Abortion Legislation Act that the government’s campaign to eliminate babies before birth with Down syndrome will intensify.

Down syndrome awareness day, the 21 March was instituted by the United Nations in 2012. This year of 2020, the World Down Syndrome Day Theme is focuses on “We Decide”. All people with Down syndrome should have full participation in decision making about matters relating to, or affecting, their lives. Right to Life totally supports the inalienable right of those with Down syndrome to be consulted on what affects their lives. Why then does the government refuse to hear the pleas of the Down community for protection for the lives of those diagnosed with Down syndrome?

Right to Life believes that this government and previous governments instituted a search and destroy mission to eliminate Down syndrome not by remedying the condition but by eliminating the person with Down syndrome. The Down syndrome community are the most persecuted community in New Zealand. According to information provided by the Minister of Health under the Official Information Act. In 2017, there were only 47 children born with Down syndrome.  It is estimated that there were 56 babies with Down syndrome who were killed before birth in 2017. Between 2009 and 2017 it is estimated that 694 children with Down syndrome were killed before birth in abortions in New Zealand.

Prior to the third reading, 1,300 people with Down syndrome and their families sent an open letter entreating the Prime Minister to honour her public commitment to the Down community and the nation to retain the post 20 week prohibition of the termination of  babies with Down syndrome. The Prime Minister callously ignored that impassioned plea. The Down syndrome families also created the website Downright Discrimination.

The Abortion Legislation Committee actually made it very clear in their final report on page 28 that they opted to keep this new post-20-weeks provision in place in the Bill so that it could be used for disability-selective abortions up to birth. The Committee had ignored the submissions from the Down community and the 25,000 submissions with 91% being opposed to the decriminalisation of abortion and abortions for disability up to birth. Why did this specially appointed pro-abortion Committee ignore the pleas of the community for protection for the lives of our special Down syndrome children?

Every child is a unique and unrepeatable miracle of God’s creation that is endowed at conception with an inalienable right to life. The community should be outraged at the government’s legislation to permit this targeting and killing of children with Down syndrome up to birth. The Prime Minister and the majority of her caucus opposed an amendment that in the event that a child with Down syndrome is born alive following an abortion it was to be given appropriate medical care. This is a crime against humanity.
Right to Life will not be silent about this great betrayal of women, the unborn child and the disability community. We will not be quiet, we will not abandon the battlefield, nor will we rest until we achieve justice for women, the unborn child and those with Down syndrome.

A Dark Day in our History Parliament Abandons Women and their Unborn Children

by 1 Comment

Media Release 18th March 2020

Parliament today passed the Labour led government Abortion Legislation Bill by 68 to 51. This represents an unprecedented attack on the family, on the status and dignity of women and on the right to life of New Zealanders in the first nine months of life.

Our right to life is universal and inalienable. The denial of the right to life of the unborn is an attack on the right to life of every member of our human family. If today Parliament can deny the right to life of the unborn it will inevitably deny our right to life when we cease to be of value to the State.

By taking women and the unborn out of the protection of the Crimes Act, this Act for the first time in the history of New Zealand has given permission for the violent killing of the unborn up to birth. This appalling Act has created a very dangerous precedent. It was prophesised by the Royal Commission on Contraception Sterilisation and Abortion in 1977, when it warned Parliament, that if Parliament did not effectively protect the right to life of the unborn, a future Parliament would refuse to protect the right to life of those with Dementia and Alzheimer’s.

The Act achieves the following outcomes:-

  • It withdraws the protection of the State to protect women and their unborn child.
  • It denies the humanity of the unborn child.
  • It denies the child’s inalienable God given right to life.
  • It grants property rights to the mother over her child and gives her the ‘right’ to terminate its life
  • It declares that it is no longer a crime to kill an unborn child.
  • It pretends that the killing of a defenceless unborn child is health care.
  • It violates the conscience rights of doctors not to be involved in the killing of their unborn patients.
  • It violates the right of free speech and assembly of those who seek to offer help to women seeking an abortion or to pray within 150 metres of a  killing centre.

The Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, the architect of this Act must accept responsibility for the violence that this Act will inflict on women. Right to Life willingly concedes that she and her colleagues are motivated by the most noble of aspirations in doing what is best for women. Sadly she and her colleagues are sadly mistaken. We do not help women by empowering them to kill their children before they are born. The mark of a civilised society is the loving protection that they surround their women and children with to shield them from violence. This Act will expose women to increased coercion and violence to terminate the life of their child.

Right to Life commends the MPs who voted to defeat this Act at its third reading. The pro-life movement will not rest until this draconian anti-life Act is repealed.

Letter Sent to all NZ MP’s Voting against Abortion Legislation Bill Amendments

by 3 Comments

The following letter was sent to all NZ MP’s who voted against SOP’s tabled by Simon O’Connor and Agnes Loheni to the Abortion Legislation Bill that would have mitigated harm under that bill.

Dear MP,

Please vote to protect women and the unborn from violence by voting against the Abortion Legislation Bill at the third reading.

It is noted that you voted against the SOP of Simon O’Connor MP, to amend the Abortion Legislation Bill. This amendment sought to require that in the event of a child being born alive following an abortion that it would receive appropriate medical care. Your conscience vote raises several important questions:-

  • What were your reasons for opposing this SOP?
  • Are you opposed to children born alive being given appropriate medical care?

It is noted that you voted against the SOP of Agnes Loheni MP. This amendment would require that in abortions where the child was of post 20 weeks gestation, that before the child’s life was terminated it would be administered an anaesthetic to prevent the child experiencing pain during the abortion. 

Your conscience vote raises several important questions:-

  • What were your reasons for opposing this SOP?
  • Do you accept that a child of post 20 weeks  gestation may experience pain in an abortion?

It is also noted that you voted against the SOP 460 of Agnes Loheni MP, which sought to continue the current legislation to restrict post 20 week abortions to where a women’s life or health is at risk. This would have provided the continued protection previously promised by the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern in September 2017.

Your conscience vote raises several important questions:-

  • What were your reasons for opposing this SOP?
  • Do you support the legal protection previously promised by the Prime Minister for babies diagnosed with Down syndrome or another disability?

Yours sincerely

Ken Orr

The NZ Church is Coming Together Against the Abortion Legislation Bill

by Leave a Comment

It is very encouraging to see the New Zealand churches responding and finally standing up in opposition to the Abortion Legislation bill. Letters have been sent to Jacinda Ardern from New Zealand’s Church leaders expressing major concern over this bill.

Church leaders in Auckland have sent Jacinda Ardern a letter condemning the bill (See below), Christchurch leaders have now joined in opposition to it. We believe other churches are following with more statements. This is truly unprecedented in New Zealand and signals the awakening of a sleeping giant.

A letter to the Prime Minister & Members of Parliament from the Christian Churches of Canterbury

Dear Prime Minister & Members of Parliament,

The Christian Churches of Canterbury which are listed below, who represent 21,356 people within our great nation, wish to strongly state their opposition to the proposed Abortion Legislation Bill which is currently being considered.
Both science and reason point to the fact that those within the womb are no less human than those outside of the womb, only differing in terms of their size, level of development, environment, and degree of dependency.
As the current elected government, you have been entrusted with the weighty responsibility of protecting the human rights of every living New Zealander, especially those who are the most defenceless and vulnerable.
In the attempt to uphold the rights of some New Zealanders, this Abortion Legislation Bill fatally terminates the rights of others, which is why we urge you to reconsider your support of this Bill, and vote NO at the 3rd and final reading.
In this final hour, we pray that you will have the courage to make the right decision, standing up for the rights of those kiwis who are without a voice.

Why does the Prime Minister Support the Killing of those with Down syndrome up to Birth?

by 1 Comment

Media Release 14 March 2020

The Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern has a duty to inform New Zealand why she misled the disability sector and the community in 2017 by giving an assurance that she would retain legal protection post 20 weeks for the unborn diagnosed with Down syndrome and other disabilities. She has now cruelly betrayed and abandoned these precious unborn by voting to defeat a Supplementary Order Paper, [SOP] and an amendment that was debated in Parliament on Tuesday 10th March at the third reading of her Abortion Legislation Bill.

The community should be aware that the Prime Minister voted against every one of the six SOP’s that sought to provide added protection to women and their unborn children. The community should also be aware that the vast majority of the Labour led government MP;s followed the Prime Minister in betraying women and the unborn by voting against these amendments. Right to Life believes that if this anti-life Bill is passed, an increasing number of children with Down syndrome will be killed.

Right to Life is now formally asking the Prime Minister, do you support the extermination of those with Down syndrome in New  Zealand as a health service? We are also going to ask every MP why they voted against the Pro-Life SOP’s which were intended to prevent needless suffering and protection for our unborn children.

Agnes Loheni MP, brought SOP 460, which sought to restrict abortions post 20 weeks to where a women’s life or health is at risk. This measure was shamefully defeated 74 to 43. Greg O’Connor MP, sought an amendment that sought the same restriction, it was defeated by 73 to 45.

If either of these actions had been supported by Parliament, they would have prohibited the killing of the disabled including those with Down syndrome after 20 weeks. It is simply appalling that our Prime minister, the Minister of Justice and 70 other MPs refused to protect the right to life of our most vulnerable unborn children.

Can the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, be trusted?  In 2017 she made a promise to the disability community in response to concerns expressed by the Saving Down’s advocacy group that the new abortion bill would remove the current 20 week prohibition and allow abortions up to birth for foetal abnormality. The Prime Minister responded, “They have said till 40 weeks, which is wrong, which is wrong. We have time periods already set out in law, I am not proposing changes to that. I am proposing it comes out of the Crimes Act,” this is simply untrue.

Down syndrome is considered a mild to moderate disability and Right to Life therefore protests at the killing of any of these special children who are gift to the community.

The Down syndrome community are the most persecuted community in New Zealand. According to information provided by the Minister of Health under the Official Information Act. In 2017, there were only 47 children born with Down syndrome.  It is estimated that there were 56 babies with Down syndrome who were killed before birth in 2017. Between 2009 and 2017 it is estimated that 694 children with Down syndrome were killed before birth in abortions in New Zealand.

There is an international campaign to eliminate Down syndrome by killing these children before they are born. In Europe many countries have an abortion rate for Down syndrome of 90%; in Iceland it is nearly 100%.

ACTION ALERT FROM FAMILY FIRST

by Leave a Comment

For those who have not received this important alert from Bob McCoskrie at Family First we re-post it here below. It is likely that the bill will go up for its final reading next week.

The government of ‘kindness’ wants to pass the extreme abortion bill in the next two weeks! WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Hi there We’ve been swamped with emails and phone calls in the past 48 hours with a simple and repeated question – “What can I do now about this atrocious abortion bill?!“

Despite the more urgent issues of housing affordability & homelessness, material hardship, child abuse, and Coronavirus, the government has made liberalising our abortion laws the priority. And they’re desperate to do this in the next couple of weeks. 

SO WHAT CAN YOU DO? Here’s the simple answer:
We need 21 more MPs to change their vote to NO. Just 21. 21 MPs to give unborn children their own birthday!


Below is a list of the MPs we believe are open to thinking through their decision and would benefit from (polite and respectful) communication from people like you. A number of them are from the Pacifika, Maori and other ethnic communities. Some from the faith communities. A visit from the leadership and members of these various groups (both national and local based) would be valuable. If they’re your local MP, visit them in person. If you gave your party vote to them, contact or visit them. If this is a deciding issue on your vote, tell them.

WHAT TO DISCUSS
We’ve also put together some talking points to aid your conversation – and to ensure that the politician knows exactly what they might be voting for. Many don’t!

(Please note – we haven’t listed all the politicians who voted Yes at the 2nd Reading. Just the ones who we believe would be open to further discussion and consideration. But you’re more than welcome to contact the other MPs. We just didn’t want to waste your valuable time!

MPs to contact
(name is linked to info page with email, facebook, twitter, electorate office details)

NATIONAL MPs

NZ FIRST MPs
Darroch Ball, Shane Jones, Jenny Marcroft, Ron Mark, Tracey Martin, Clayton Mitchell, Mark Patterson, Winston Peters, Fletcher Tabuteau

(they want a referendum on the issue, but we are unsure as to whether they will oppose the bill IF there is no referendum granted)

WHAT IS THE NEXT STEP IN THE PARLIAMENTARY PROCESS?
The bill moves in to Committee Stage, likely next week, where a number of proposals to amend the bill will be debated and put to the vote. We will watch these closely. Some of these Supplementary Order Papers (SOPs) are good – and designed to minimise the harm of this atrocious billSome positive ones include:* Agnes Loheni – National – stricter criteria for late term abortions / stricter def’n of health practitioner
* Agnes Loheni – National – pain capability post 20 weeks
* Joanne Hayes – National – parental notification
* Joanne Hayes – National – informed consent (capacity test)
* Melissa Lee – National – ban on sex selection and disability discrimination
* Darroch Ball – NZ First – referendum
* David Seymour – ACT – scrapping ‘safe areas’And from the radical pro-abortion side:* Jan Logie – remove definition of ‘women’ – because men can get pregnant, apparently (!)
* Jan Logie – remove the safeguard of the (already weak) statutory test after 20 weeks ?

Please use whatever time we have before the 3rd (and final) Reading to contact as many MPs as possible – and especially your local MPs, and MPs who belong to the party that you gave your party vote to in previous elections. Write today! Make an appointment today! Engage with them on social media today!

Parliament Defeats Born Alive Amendment to Abortion Bill

by Leave a Comment


Media Release 11 March 2020

Do the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern and the Minister of Justice approve of the infanticide of babies born alive in a late term abortion?

Parliament last night (10th March), voted 80 to 37 to defeat an amendment proposed by Simon O’Connor to the government Abortion Legislation Bill. The amendment proposed that a “qualified health practitioner who performed the abortion that results in the birth of a child, or any other health practitioner present at the time the child is born, has a duty to provide the child with appropriate medical care and treatment.”

The commendable object of this amendment was to ensure that the child would receive the same medical care and treatment as any other child who was born. This is the care that any decent society would provide its children. International experience reveals that babies are sometimes born alive after abortion and often cry for help.

It is appalling that 80 MPs were opposed to the amendment which made it clear that doctors had a serious obligation to provide this critical health care.

It is acknowledged that the objective of abortion is to deliver a dead baby (that has been violently killed), The last thing an abortionist wants is a live baby after completing an abortion.

The government Abortion Bill is at pains to ignore the truth that abortion concerns two patients, the mother and the child. The government is silent on the purpose of the Bill which is to facilitate the murder of an innocent and defenceless unborn child. It is therefore understandable that Parliament would collude to defeat this amendment which gives recognition to the truth that :-

The unborn child is a human being.

The child has right to life that needs to be respected and protected.

Medical practitioners have a duty to protect life and not to destroy it.

It is very disturbing that our Prime Minister, Minister of Justice and the majority of her government made the decision to vote against this important amendment. One would expect that any humane person would extend at least this minimum care to a child who had survived murderous intent. However it is clear that even this concession was a bridge to far for those who recognise that any moderation to the legal ‘right’ to kill carries the risk to the holy grail of “CHOICE”.

Right to Life asks our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern as a woman and a loving mother of a child, why did you oppose this amendment to provide health care to a child that had survived the horror of a late term abortion?

Andrew Little’s Abortion Bill, the Final Solution for Unwanted Children

by 1 Comment

Media release 8 March 2020

8 Week aborted child

The Minister of Justice is aware that to legalise the killing of those unborn children classified as unwanted, it is necessary to deny their humanity and their human rights. He has done this at the direction of the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern.

The government’s Abortion Legislation Bill denies the humanity and the human rights of the unborn and removes those to be killed from the protection of the Crimes Act.

There are similarities between the final solution of Nazi Germany and the final solution of Andrew Little. Both are government funded and authorised programmes. There is a direct parallel between those innocent and defenceless victims murdered by the Nazi’s and the innocent and defenceless victims who are being rejected by our community as unwanted. Both had been denied their humanity and their right to life. Both were murdered under the guise that this was a health service. The bodies of the victims were and are incinerated as medical waste. The victims were nameless and the only record of the victims is in statistical records.

Are we unwittingly following the example of the Nazi leader, Heinrich Himmler, head of the Gestapo and SS and the author of the final solution to exterminate European Jews. He knew that it was necessary to deny the humanity of Jews and their human rights to justify their killing. In May 1923, Adolph Hitler asserted, “The Jews are undoubtedly a race, but not human.” It was the Supreme Court in Germany later in 1923 that declared that Jews were not human beings and persons with human rights.

Right to Life makes no apology for making this analogy and for speaking up in defence of women and their unborn and are empowered by the words of the famous German minister Martin Niemöller who was imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp who famously said:-

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me-and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Right to Life applauds the courageous 31 MPs who voted to defend life by voting against the Bill. We now request that the 81 MPs who voted to support the Jacinda Ardern led Labour government Abortion Legislation Bill at its second reading now withdraw their support at the third reading.

Jacinda Ardern and Andrew Little Upset at being exposed to the Violence of Abortion

by 2 Comments

Media Release Friday 6th March 2020

“Prime Minister, we the unborn have no voice. We must then let our broken and bloodied bodies speak to you.”

The Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern and the Minister of Justice, Andrew Little were upset that Members of Parliament should see graphic pictures of defenceless and weak unborn children who have been violently killed in abortions.

Right to Life asks them that if graphics exposing the bodies of the brutally murdered victims of abortion are so horrible that you cannot stand to look at them, why do you tolerate and facilitate their murder?

Members of the pro-life movement gathered peacefully outside Parliament on the day of the second reading of the anti-women and anti -life Abortion Legislation Bill. Several members held heart rendering graphic pictures of aborted babies.

The Prime Minister, who has enthusiastically sponsored her Labour led government bill, said she was personally against the use of such images.

“I just think that’s not a way to share the legitimate views that other people will have,”

“People will have their own views and they should be able to freely express them. But people should also be mindful that those who have gone through some of these experiences, that will weigh heavy for many.”

Prime Minister, every abortion results in a dead baby. How can we debate your Bill when you refuse to acknowledge that abortion kills an innocent human being?

Right to Life sympathises with the Prime Minister, it is very disturbing to see pictures of the dismembered and bloodied bodies of children who have been violently killed.
Right to Life believes that if we are going to engage in a respectful and informed debate about abortion it is important to consider the objective of abortion. Every abortion results in a violently killed child.

Justice Minister Andrew Little also objected to the use of such images.

“New Zealanders on average have a low level of tolerance for that sort of extremism. If these people want to go around upsetting the rest of New Zealand, that’s their call.”
Minister, why is it extreme to graphically depict the results of your ill -conceived abortion Bill? Is it not your Bill that is extreme? Is It not you and your extreme abortion  Bill that is upsetting the rest of New Zealand?

“We are the unborn, we are the weakest and most defenceless members of our human family. Prime Minister and Minister of Justice, why do you want to kill us, why are you not protecting us?

From the moment of conception we are human beings endowed with an inalienable right to life. We come to bless our nation, we want to love and be loved. You choose not to hear our silent scream, as the abortionist forces his way into our home intent on violently killing us. You do not hear our voice so let the graphic pictures of our bloodied and dismembered bodies speak to you.”
