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

Government’s abortion counselling services outlaw prolife counselling!

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 19 October 2022

Right to Life intends to lodge a complaint with the Human Rights Commissioner against the Director General of Health for violating the rights of pregnant women to choose counsellors whom they wish to receive counselling from.

 It is now a legal requirement that counsellors providing counselling to women considering an abortion, have no conscientious objection to the killing of an unborn child.

This legal requirement is mandated for in the recently released Ministry of Health Abortion Counselling Standards. Counsellors who uphold the sanctity of life ethic, who believe that the unborn child has an inalienable right to life, and who believe that abortion is violence against women are explicitly excluded from providing counselling. Abortion counselling is optional, it is funded by the state and is an integral part of the abortion industry.

Right to Life received confirmation from the Ministry of Health  that the Standards have legal standing  in accordance with the Contraception Sterilisation and Abortion Act 1977, section 16[1][b][II], which requires the Director General of Health to produce these Standards.

 Right to Life believes that it is the government’s intention to encourage the killing of the unborn and to isolate women from counselling which opposes violence against women and their unborn. The current government will not allow any dissent against killing unborn children, so it seeks to silence the pro-life movement in New Zealand. The government’s promotion of a culture of death will fail as a culture of life will ultimately triumph over a culture of death.

 The Ministry of Health released these amended Abortion Counselling Standards on 4th August 2022. These standards state that only government approved counsellors may provide abortion counselling. The definition of abortion counselling is that it is intended to provide therapeutic support to people who are considering having, or have had, an abortion.

Right to Life believes that pregnant women considering an abortion have a right to seek counselling from a person who loves and cares for both the mother and her child. She has a right to refuse counselling from a counsellor who does not believe that her precious child is a human being endowed with a right to life and who would support the violent killing of her child.

Right to Life is particularly concerned that only persons who do not have a conscientious objection to abortion may provide counselling. This means that the counsellor should believe:-

  • That the unborn child is not a human being, nor have a right to life until it is born.
  • That it is not a crime to kill an unborn child and that abortion is a ”reproductive health choice for women.”
  • Right to Life believes that counsellors who uphold the sanctity of life ethic are prohibited from providing counselling to any woman who is considering an abortion or who is seeking post abortion counselling.

Right to Life believes that the government is intent on forbidding pro-life counselling in New Zealand by outlawing it. We believe that their objective is to:-

  • Normalise the killing of unborn children and to encourage women to seek an abortion.
  • Prevent women from exercising their right to seek pro-life counselling and support to choose life for their child.
  •  Silence and suppress pro-life counsellors, which is a violation of their freedom of speech.

Right to Life believes that these draconian guidelines promote a culture of death, the war on women and on the lives of our precious unborn.

Abortion a satanic sacrifice

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 24 August 2022

Why are many of the Churches silent in response to the Satanic sacrifice of God’s precious infants?

Satan is a murderer and a liar, he has always demanded human sacrifice, usually children, that he still demands today. Right to Life believes that today the temples of Baal are abortion facilities where innocent women are lied to and deceived into believing that their child is not a human being and that their violent ritualistic killing is a health service and  “a reproductive choice for women”, authorised by Parliament and fully funded by the government.  

From the beginning of time, civilizations have offered up human sacrifice to Satan under the name of Baal. Sacrifices have been part of world religions since the dawn of recorded history. Without exception, the deities of all the religions of the ancient world demanded sacrifices in their honour. The Egyptians and Babylonians, the Greeks and Romans, the deities of pre-Christian India and of the continent of Africa required that their adherents offer what we call human sacrifice, generally the sacrifice of children.

Satan has been spectacularly successful first in deluding and then organising immense support in the community for the murder of the unborn under the guise that it is a health service.

He has successfully silenced most of the churches, and he has deluded many in the medical profession who now support child sacrifice, he has deluded the legal profession and the judiciary and he has deluded the media and now Parliament. Where individuals are reluctant to support child sacrifice, he has generally succeeded in silencing them. The sacrifice of innocent children is an abomination in the eyes of God. History reveals that God punished severely those nations that engaged in offering human sacrifices to Baal. Will we, too, draw down on ourselves the wrath of God? He will not be mocked.

Today, the temples to Baal are our abortion clinics, their priests are now abortionists and the medical table has become their altar. It is a ritualized sacrifice based on a dogma called “choice”. It is truly Satanic when Satan deludes desperate women into believing that the sacrifice of their child is freely given as their “choice”.

Isis, the ancient Goddess, wife of Baal, demanded child sacrifice. Her name is honoured today in the abortion industry by having a company Istar Ltd named after her. Istar Ltd is the sole importer in New Zealand of the murder pill, Mifepristone RU 486, used for medical abortions up to nine weeks.

The Satanic Temple in the United States has a membership of 600,000. Abortion is a Satanic ritual. The ritual involves reciting  the temple’s tenet, which reads, “One’s body is inviolable, subject to one’s own will alone.” This tenet would have the full support of Family Planning, the major participant in the abortion industry in New Zealand.

Government approves women having ten or more abortions – is this health care?

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 4 August 2022

Right to Life challenges Clare Perry, Deputy Director General of Health’s claim that for  women to have ten or more of their children murdered before they are born will not affect their health.

 Clare Perry, Deputy Director General of Health responded on the  2nd August, to Right to Life’s letter of concern to the Minister of Justice, Andrew Little, at the lifetime of grief, sorrow and psychological and physical damage inflicted on women by the loss of their children in repeat abortions.

 Ms Perry “affirmed that abortion is health care and an individual’s choice. People do not have to give a reason for seeking an abortion. Abortion is proven to be safe and effective and there are no physical health concerns related to multiple abortions.”

Right to Life expressed concern to the Minister at the following statistics reported in 2020 of 18 women who had seven or more abortions.

  • Nine instances where the woman reported having seven previous abortions.
  • Six instances where the woman reported having eight previous abortions.
  • Three instances where the woman reported having ten or more abortions.

Right to Life contends that many of these women were probably victims of physical, emotional or sex abuse and were threatened with abandonment if they did not have an abortion.

Right to Life believes that these women are victimised by the Abortion Legislation Act that inflicts on them the  violent killing of their child wanted not by her, but the perpetrator of violence on the defenceless woman. Her request for an abortion is a cry for help that is callously ignored by the state.

Right to life’s request for an amendment to the law to protect these abused women and their defenceless unborn was ignored by Ms Perry.

Right to Life challenges Ms Perry’ claim that having ten or more abortions will not affect a woman’s health. What studies has her Ministry conducted to expose the damage done to women?  It is an appalling abandonment of women and a denial of their dignity and worth for the state to authorise and fund the violent killing of their child on request without even bothering to require them to divulge the reason. The abortion law does not protect women, it protects men who are predators and abusers of defenceless women. When will the abortion law be amended to protect women and their precious unborn?

Repeat abortions appalling victimisation of women

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 23 July 2022

Right to Life believes that abortion is not health care and asks the Minister of Health, Andrew Little, does he really believe that the government is caring for women by offering and funding women to have 10 or more abortions?

 Information received by Right to Life from the Ministry of Health reveals that there were 18 women who had an abortion in 2020 where it was recorded that the women had seven or more abortions. There were:

  •  Nine women who had reported having seven previous abortions.
  •  Six women who had eight previous abortions.
  •  Three women who had ten or more previous abortions.

On 11 February 2022, the Ministry of Health responded to our request and withheld this information under section 9[2] [a] of the Act, to protect the privacy of natural persons. Right to Life challenged this decision by laying a complaint with the Ombudsman. Right to Life is grateful to the Ombudsman for upholding our complaint and obtaining this important information.

Right to Life is deeply concerned at the suffering that is inflicted on these victimised women. Abortion is violence against women and their precious unborn. Right to Life believes that many of these women are victims of physical and sexual abuse and have been coerced into destroying their child.

These women are facing a lifetime of grief, sorrow and psychological and physical damage inflicted on them by the loss of their children.

We deceive ourselves and betray these exploited women if we consider that killing the children of these women is doing them a service, which in the words of our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, is a reproductive health choice.

We should rend our garments and cover our heads with penitential ashes as we consider man’s inhumanity to women.

Will our Parliament harken to the plight of these women and reject their abandonment of women and their precious unborn with their claim that the abortion law is decided law and will not be changed in a future Parliament?

The Abortion Supervisory Committee that previously oversaw abortion in New Zealand reported that one third of abortions were repeat abortions.

A study conducted at the Waikato Hospital in 2005 revealed that 50% of women seeking an abortion were subject to physical or sexual abuse.

A study conducted at the Epsom Day Abortion Clinic in 2010 found that one third of women seeking an abortion were victims of domestic violence.

Women deserve better than abortion, they and their defenceless unborn deserve our love and protection.

Abortion counselling should be mandatory

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 26 May 2022

Right to Life believes that the government should conduct an urgent enquiry into why an assumed overwhelming number of women are not being counselled before an abortion, the effect that this is having on informed consent, the destruction of innocent unborn life and the implications for the future physical and psychological health of women.

 Right to Life is concerned that the overwhelming number of women who are coerced into accepting the killing of their unborn child presumably do not seek pre-abortion counselling. A study conducted in 2019 by the Elliot Institute in the United States found that 64% of women seeking an abortion had been coerced to have an abortion against their will by others.

 It should be of great concern to the community that the Auckland District Health Board revealed in a recent response to an Official Information Act request from Right to Life that there were 4,027 women who had an abortion at their facilities in 2021 and that there were only 174 women who received pre-abortion counselling. Right to Life believes that these disturbing statistics are reflective of the abortion industry in New Zealand.

Right to Life asks the government how can it be confident that women enduring the killing of their unborn child have given an informed consent, when nearly 96%, of women seeking an abortion have not been counselled?

Right to Life believes that women are not being encouraged to seek counselling as it can require a consultation with a social worker at the hospital and require a second visit on another day for a surgical abortion. The introduction of medical abortions by telehealth with the abortion pills sent to the women’s home is a further disincentive for a woman to seek counselling at a hospital.

Right to Life is concerned that the Ministry of Health has no interest in collecting information on the abortion report form on whether women are being counselled. If the Ministry of Health is really concerned about women’s health, why are they not concerned that the overwhelming number of women undergoing abortion are not been counselled?

Pre-abortion counselling is in the interest of women and their precious unborn children. It provides an opportunity for the woman to explore life affirming alternatives to the killing of the child, such as adoption, guardianship and parenting and information about services that would support a woman to choose life for her child. Counselling provides information concerning the development and humanity of the unborn child and the potential complications, sterility, future miscarriages, premature births and long term psychological grief and sorrow.

UN World Down Syndrome Day 21st March 2022

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 22 March 2022

Government’s search and destroy screening programme results in 90% of unborn children with Down syndrome being violently killed each year in the sanctuary of their mother’s womb. The most dangerous place for a New Zealander today with Down syndrome is in its mother’s womb. The government authorises and funds the killing of the unborn with Down syndrome refuses to reveal to the community the number of these children that are killed each year.

Right to Life shares the fears of the Down Syndrome community, that with the passing of the extreme anti-life Abortion Legislation Act in 2020,  the state funded genocide against the unborn children diagnosed with Down syndrome would intensify.

In New Zealand around 66% (2/3) of all pregnancies with Down syndrome end in abortion. Not all pregnancies are screened, however, of those diagnosed through pre-natal screening, almost all are aborted at over 90%.  In Denmark it is 98%, in the United Kingdom it is 90% and in the USA it is 67%.

The government funds a screening programme specifically directed at detecting Down syndrome in unborn children. Down syndrome is a mild to moderate disability. Those with Down syndrome are loved as valuable members of our families and community. When a diagnosis indicates Down syndrome, the women is encouraged to terminate the life of her child whose life is considered incompatible with life. The government has decided that only the perfect have a right to life, this is discrimination against the disabled. Reluctant women are also pressured by doctors to abort the child.

In March 2020 the New Zealand Parliament passed the Abortion Legislation Bill which allows for the killing of unborn children diagnosed with Down syndrome up to birth.

The architect of this evil legislation was the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, who believes that unborn children are not human beings and don’t have a right to life until they are born. Her government believe that women have a right to kill their unborn children, including those with Down syndrome up to birth.

Down syndrome awareness day was instituted by the United Nations in 2012. This year of 2022, the World Down Syndrome Day theme focuses on “inclusion”.

How can these children have inclusion in our community when they don’t have recognition of their right to life from conception? The World Health Organisation recently called for the elimination of Down syndrome. As there is no cure for Down syndrome the only way to eliminate it is by killing every child with it before they are born.

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. 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 limit on the prohibition of the termination of  babies with Down syndrome. The Prime Minister callously ignored that impassioned plea.

The Abortion Legislation Committee actually made it 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.

Every child is a unique and unrepeatable miracle of God’s creation, who is endowed at conception with an inalienable right to life. Our community should be outraged at the government’s legislation to permit the 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 forget the betrayal of women, the unborn child and the disability community. We will not be silenced, we will not abandon the battlefield, nor will we rest until we achieve justice for women, the unborn child and those with Down.

Government vaccine mandates of Police and Defence Force unlawful

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 26 February 2022

Right to Life welcomes the brilliant judgement of Justice Francis Cooke in the High Court on the lawfulness of the vaccine mandate imposed by the government on members of the Police force and the Defence force.

 The community is indebted to these courageous citizens who brought this important conscience issue to the High Court.

The judgement is a victory for the supremacy of the conscience of the individual over the dictates of a controlling state. It upholds the human right of the appellants to exercise their conscience in refusing the demand of the government to subject their bodies to a medical procedure, specifically, the experimental Pfizer gene therapy.

Right to Life believes that this judgement gives support and encouragement to the thousands of hard working doctors, nurses, health care workers, teachers and other New Zealanders who have been cruelly deprived of their profession and work because they refused the demand of the government to accept the Pfizer vaccine.

Never before in the history of New Zealand has the right to work been subject to our vaccination status.

Justice Cooke accepted the appellants’ claim that the government mandate violated their human rights guaranteed by the NZ Bill of Rights Act 1990, the right to refuse a medical treatment and the right to manifest religious beliefs.

The appellants recognised and argued that the Pfizer “vaccine’ had been tested with the cell line HEK 293 which was unethically produced from a baby killed in a late term abortion performed by caesarean section. The baby, while still alive and without an anaesthetic, had its kidney painfully removed to be used to produce a cell line. This was an appalling violation of the right to life of the child and a crime against humanity.

Right to Life requests that the government accepts the just judgement of Justice Cooke and now revoke vaccination mandates and restore employment to the thousands of New Zealanders deprived of their work through the punitive and damaging mandates.

The government knew, when it purchased the Pfizer and other vaccines, that they had been produced or tested with cell lines from aborted babies. Right to Life again requests that the government purchase only vaccines that have been ethically produced and tested without the use of cell lines derived from babies killed in abortions.

Vaccinate or starve?

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 31 October 2021

The actions of the Labour government are an increasing threat to the human rights of New Zealanders. It is the duty of the state to protect the human rights of all New Zealanders from conception to natural death.

 Right to Life is disappointed that that the churches, who should be at the forefront in defending the human rights of New Zealanders, are silent on these matters.

The Catholic Church has a distinguished record in defending the rights of workers. The Papal encyclical Rerum Novarum of 1891, encapsulates the Church teaching on the rights of workers, the duties of employers and duty of the State to care for workers.

Right to Life believes that the Churches have a duty to speak up in defence of workers threatened with unemployment for following their conscience.

The government, under cover of the Covid 19 pandemic, pushed through the Abortion Legislation Act in March 2020 with urgency, thereby denying the human rights of the unborn by inflicting abortion, literally on demand up to birth.

The government has also denied the human rights of the seriously ill and the dying by its overwhelming support for the End of Life Choice Act 2019, which will be inflicted on our nation on 7th November. This diabolical legislation will allow doctors to give their patients a lethal injection or assist in their suicide, under the guise of health care.

Still under the guise of health care, the government is threatening the human rights of New Zealanders if they disobey the government directive to accept the experimental Pfizer “vaccine” and become part of the international research group to ascertain the long term adverse reactions to this vaccine, this is phase 3 which has just started and will conclude in January 2023.

The government have now resolved to increase the number in the work force subject to mandatory vaccination to about 40%. This includes those employed in hospitality, hairdressers and gyms, who are now required by the government to accept the Pfizer vaccine experimental gene therapy medical treatment, or lose their employment.

New Zealanders have a right to work to provide for themselves and their family. This right is enshrined in the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights Article 23, “Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment to just and favourable conditions and protection against unemployment”.

The NZ Labour Party has a proud record of defending the rights of workers, the 40 hour week and full employment. It is simply unbelievable that we have a Labour government that is threatening the employment of tens of thousands of New Zealanders over this issue.

Michael Joseph Savage, the former Labour leader, whose photo sits strategically in the Prime Minister’s office would turn in his grave if he could see what the sixth Labour government is doing to undermine the traditional family, reject the sanctity of life and trample over the human rights of New Zealanders.

This vaccination mandate contravenes the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act, section 10, which reads

”Right not to be subjected to medical or scientific experimentation

Every person has the right not to be subjected to medical or scientific experimentation without that person’s consent.”

Section11, reads, “Right to refuse to undergo medical treatment Everyone has the right to refuse to undergo any medical treatment.”

Why is the government choosing to ignore this important legislation which was enacted to protect our human rights?

High Court Upholds duty of Doctors to Cooperate in Killing of Unborn !

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 25 September 2021

Justice Rebecca Ellis, in the case of the NZ Health Professionals Alliance v the Attorney General rejected the case of the Alliance that the Abortion Legislation Act 2020 sections 14 & 15 were coercive. The Alliance were opposed to being involved in the killing of unborn children on conscience grounds. The law requires doctors who are not prepared to kill the child to refer a woman seeking an abortion to the nearest provider, this was not a requirement prior to 2020.

 Right to Life commends the Alliance for its integrity in defending the supremacy of conscience in medicine for the protection of patients especially the unborn, the weakest and most defenceless members of our human family and their mothers. The Alliance deserves the wholehearted support of the  community.

The Judge ruled that doctors should not allow their conscience to prevent them from referring the woman to an abortion provider. The Abortion Legislation Act 2020 allows an unborn child to be killed for any reason up to 20 weeks gestation. From 20 weeks to birth, the baby may be killed if the abortionist believes it is “appropriate” and has “consulted another doctor”.

The doctor consulted is not required to agree that the killing is “appropriate”.

The Justice ruled that no rights are infringed by the abortion law, ignoring the fact that the right to life of the unborn child is violently violated and the right of the mother to be given the love and help that she needs to choose life for her precious child.

The Attorney General represented the government of Jacinda Ardern. The Prime Minister was the architect of this Abortion legislation and will be delighted that Justice Ellis has upheld her legislation that prohibits doctors from trying to protect the life of their tiny defenceless patient, the unborn child, by refusing to refer them to an abortionist.

This decision is critical for the practice of medicine in New Zealand. For more than 2,000 years medicine has been practised in accordance with the informed conscience of health professionals who are committed to uphold the sanctity of life of every human being from conception. Doctors providing care to a pregnant woman know that they are caring for two precious patients.

At the Nuremburg trials in 1946 of Nazi doctors who were charged with crimes against humanity, they claimed that they were just following orders, however this defence was dismissed by the Court who stated that the doctors had a duty to follow their informed conscience.

Right to Life believes that there is now no place in medicine for doctors who wish to practise medicine with a conscience that recognises the right to life of every individual from conception to natural death.

The government demands that doctors become agents of the state, follow orders and implement the killing of the unborn under the guise of it being a health service.

In the words of our Prime Minister, it is now “a reproductive choice for women”. She has decreed in her legislation that the unborn child is not a human being endowed with a right to life until it is born. In killing an unborn child we do no harm because it is not a human being.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Right to Life believes that It is time for the members of our community to rise up and protest at the destruction by this government of conscience directed medicine.

Safe Areas Bill Protects Abortion Victimises women

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 23 June 2021

Right to Life believes that the hidden objective of the Safe Areas Amendment Bill of Louisa Wall is not to protect women but to protect abortion, the violent killing of the unborn and the war against women.

Women who seek an abortion are victims of the culture of death who have been denied the love and support  that they deserve and desperately need. These women are not free, they are in chains imposed by the culture of death, as they are told that they have no choice but to accept the destruction of their child.

It is a culture that brooks no interference, does not compromise and that demands their complete subjection.

Every woman who courageously changes her mind and chooses life for her child is a defeat for the culture of death.

Right to Life believes that Louisa Wall is not so concerned about the welfare of women with child, what she is more concerned with is the efficient running of the abortion industry.

The bill seeks to achieve this objective by prohibiting the presence within 150 metres of any person praying, who would pose a threat to the planned legal execution of an unwanted unborn child. Their presence would be a criminal offence subject to arrest without a warrant. Those accused of this crime would be arraigned in the District Court and subject to a fine of up to $1,000.

  • It upholds the charade that the killing of the unborn child is “health care” and that the killing centre is a safe place for women.
  • It refuses to call abortion violence against the unborn, the weakest and most defenceless members of our human family, evil and a crime against humanity.
  • It calls the woman seeking an abortion the ”protected person” when in fact she is the victim on whom the violence of abortion is to be inflicted.
  • That the abortion killing centre is a safe place for women.
  • That she needs protecting from those who are praying for her and her child and who would offer love and assistance to her to choose life for her child.
  • That the killing of her child is a private matter and of no concern to anyone else.
  • This bill pretends to express abhorrence of intimidation and harassment of women seeking an abortion when, if passed, it’s application may result in intimidation and harassment of law-abiding people, preventing them from exercising their rights of free speech, assembly, communication and religion.

The reality is that abortion is not health care, and that the abortion clinic, a killing centre, is not a safe place for either her or her child.

We have a duty to rescue those who are being dragged to their death, tarry not to come to their aid.
