Abortion Violence is Not a Health Issue Jacinda Ardern

by 1 Comment

The state has a duty to protect women and their unborn from violence. In 1856 the New Zealand Parliament recognised that abortion was violence against both women and the unborn and made abortion unlawful under the Crimes Act, Part VIII Crimes against the Person. Abortion was recognised as a serious crime in the Common Law of England. 

The Labour led government of Jacinda Ardern under the guise of empowering women is proposing to decriminalise abortion and disguise the violence by calling it a “health service” this is not empowerment but slavery. 

Abortion is not health care. The government’s proposal is a shameful abandonment of women and will expose women to increased violence. This cruel deception of women perpetrated by the government is deceiving women into believing that their unborn child has no value and that the state has no interest in protecting her or her defenceless unborn. Their claim is that, when we kill an unborn child, we do no harm as it is not a human being and it therefore has no rights.

Vulnerable women will be exposed to increased coercion, physical and sexual violence from the father of their children who will be empowered to impose pressure on women to terminate the life of their children. This is because for the many women who are facing coercion to abort their child against their will, they will, if abortion is no longer a crime, have even less power to resist the coercion of the father or those pushing them in the direction of killing. Arguments such as “it’s only a health issue”, will be used against the mother. [Read more…]

Formal Complaint Against Newsroom Re Abortion Article Bias

Dear Mr Jennings

Formal Complaint

I wish to lodge a complaint against the article titled “ Labour moves to legalise abortion” written by Thomas Coughlan and published on 16 February 2018. My complaint is that the article breached the Press Council’s Principle 1. Accuracy, Fairness and Balance.

Accuracy

Terry Bellamak, an American lady from Arizona, President of ALRANZ advocates for the removal of all grounds from abortion. She claims that “we trust women to make their own decisions about their own bodies.” I believe in fairness it should have been mentioned that this “reform” would remove the prohibition to have an abortion on the grounds that the child was the wrong sex. This usually means that if the child was female it would be killed. This is the ultimate discrimination against women. It would also mean that the restriction on killing the unborn with minor disabilities would be revoked, this would mean increased discrimination against the disabled. It would also mean that more babies with Down syndrome would be killed as is happening in Europe where an estimated 90 per cent are killed before birth. It is estimated that in New Zealand at present 60 per cent are killed

The article states that doctors objecting to perform abortions may refuse on the grounds of conscience and are not required to advise the patient. This is incorrect, the doctor is obliged to inform the women why he is refusing to be in any way involved with the termination of the life of a child in utero. Section 43 of the CS & A Act 1977 gives conscience protection to all medical practitioners nurses and other hospital personnel from doing anything to facilitate an abortion. This even includes staff employed to prepare surgical equipment to be used in a surgical abortion. [Read more…]

Where Have All Our Children Gone?

where have all the children goneMedia Release Wednesday 31st January 2018

This week our nation should be in mourning for our missing children who will never go through the school gates. They have been deprived of their lives in the ‘sanctuary’ of their mother’s womb.

”I will never know the tides of time; For I was coming but unloved, and that my only crime. Nameless am I, a grain of sand One of the countless dead, but the deed that make me ashen grey, floats on seas of red.” [Ballad of the Unborn Child]

Nearly 10,000 5 year olds will commence their schooling  this week, happy and laughing, full of the joy of life. A total of 50,000 5 year olds are expected during the four terms of 2018. Sadly around 13,170 who would have been the same age are missing. What would have been there joy and laughter replaced by a deathly silence. This represents nearly 526 empty class rooms. What a loss to our nation. They join the ranks of the 500,000 children who have been murdered in their mother’s womb since 1977. These are the children who were considered of little worth and whose lives were terminated by abortion. These are the nameless and whose only record of existence is a cold statistic in the Abortion Supervisory Committee’s annual report to Parliament of 2014.

When Are We going to get Serious about Child Abuse?

by 2 Comments

Media Release  Tue 9th May 2017

Image result for child abuse and abortionRight to Life asks when is the government really going to get serious about child abuse and recognise that it begins in the womb? Why is a preschool teacher convicted as a criminal for lightly smacking a child’s hand, while a doctor who violently kills thousands of children in the womb is granted a knighthood by the Queen for services to women?

A 59 year old preschool teacher and day care manager was found guilty in the High Court in Auckland on Wednesday, 3rd of May of 10 charges of assaulting children in her care. Six of the charges were for smacking a child on the back of the hand. In defence, the accused claimed that she had not smacked a child but had merely tapped the child on the hand. The defendant was released on bail and was remanded to appear in the Court in July for sentencing. The complaints had been laid by the Education Department which was pleased with the verdict. The prosecutor stated that the smacking was “gratuitous violence.” The teacher now has a criminal conviction for assaulting children; has justice been done? This sad case highlights the hypocrisy of our claim that we care about our children. On one hand we have the Ministry of Education having these charges brought to Court to protect children from a light smack or tap on the back of the hand. on the other hand we have the Ministry of Health providing a “termination of pregnancy service” to violently murder more than 13,000  unborn children each year.  Something is badly wrong.

Letters – Abortion Connection to Rape and Domestic Violence

Dear Dr Coleman

Domestic Violence and Abortion Official Information Act Request

In 2010 Right to Life supported the call of the Abortion Supervisory Committee [ASC] for research in New Zealand on the relationship of domestic violence and abortion. The Committee’s call was made in its annual report to Parliament for 2009.

I wish to request under the Official Information Act a copy of your response to the Committee’s request made in its report to Parliament in 2009 for more research into the relationship between abortion and domestic violence?

The Committee reported that information provided by the Epsom Day Unit revealed that one third of women seeking an abortion at the Unit are subject to domestic violence. Right to Life believes that the incidence of domestic violence is actually much higher as it is believed that many women are too afraid and ashamed to admit that they are victims of domestic violence.

Epsom Day Unit is the busiest Abortion Clinic in New Zealand, in 2009 it reported the performance of 5,380 abortions. It is believed that the experience of domestic violence at Epsom Day Clinic reflects the domestic violence that is being observed in all the nation’s Abortion Clinics and hospitals. We are aware that a similar study was conducted by the Waikato District Health Board in 2005
