Child poverty begins in the womb and the absence of marriage and the abandonment of women is the major cause of child poverty.
Right to Life commends our new Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, for making the elimination of child poverty a top priority for her government. The Prime Minister has appointed herself as the Minister for Child Poverty Reduction. We wish her well but question her qualifications for undertaking this important task given she is unmarried, has no children and is only 37 years of age. Right to Life asks why does she continue to deny that the major cause of child poverty in New Zealand is the breakdown of the traditional family as the societal norm, lack of marriage and the abandonment of women.

They were deemed to be unwanted and by some a threat to our community. Their discarded and broken human remains have been treated as “medical waste” to be incinerated. Their final resting place the local landfill. Shame on us! – for we are all guilty as our silence convicts us.

There are a number of factors that are impacting the rapid aging of the worlds population. Abortion is undoubtedly the greatest. Children are the world’s most precious resource and yet we are killing them by the millions. Article starts……
