Child poverty commences in the womb!

Media Release 26th October 2022

Right to Life asks the Prime Minister why she refuses to accept that the ultimate in child poverty is for the child to be deprived of its life in its mother’s womb?

Right to Life commends the Prime Minister, who is the Minister for child poverty reduction, for being passionately committed to reducing child poverty in New Zealand. The glaringly obvious fact however is that she continues to ignore the right to life of our unborn, our most vulnerable children. Indeed our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, was the dedicated architect of the Abortion Legislation Act 2020, that allows for the violent killing of unborn children right up to birth.

Right to Life asks the Prime Minister, does she think she is reducing child poverty in New Zealand by allowing the killing of children before birth?

Since she became Prime Minister in 2017, more than 65,000 innocent and defenceless children have been violently killed in abject poverty in their mother’s wombs, shamefully funded by the government she heads, under the guise of abortion being a health service.

The Prime Minister stated in an opinion article that she wrote for Children’s Day 3rd March 2019, ”one of our goals and aspirations as a government is to make New Zealand the best place in the world to be a child, but we can always do more. The way we treat children, says so much about what kind of country we are.”

Right to Life agrees and asks how can she really be concerned about the welfare of children when legislation she has introduced supports the poisoning of unborn children who are then sucked out of their mother’s wombs or otherwise violently and painfully dismembered. one in every five conceived unborn children are killed in this way.

Prime Minister, what sort of country authorises and funds the violent killing of 36 unborn children every day? Why do you discriminate against our vulnerable unborn children?  

Human life begins at conception, at this unique moment we have a new human being, a child, the weakest and most defenceless member of the human family that is a unique and unrepeatable miracle of God’s loving creation.

In 2018 Jacinda Ardern introduced the Child Poverty Reduction bill which had as its objective to encourage a focus on child poverty reduction and provide a commitment by government to address child well-being. This bill was passed in December 2018. There is no provision in this Act to recognise the poverty inflicted on unborn children.

It is the duty of government not only to reduce child poverty but to prohibit the killing of children, both born and unborn.

Is the government really serious about condemning Genocide?

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 6 May 2021

Parliament is commended for debating a resolution on serious human rights abuses including genocide by the Chinese Communist Party against the Muslim Uyghur people in China.

 Parliament unanimously passed a motion that declared that “severe human rights abuses are occurring against the Uyghur people.”

 Right to Life is disappointed that Parliament, in our view, readily recognises human rights abuses and genocide in China, but does not recognise that the New Zealand government has been vigorously conducting an organised campaign of genocide since 2010, against the unborn child diagnosed with Down syndrome, euphemistically called a “quality improvement program.”

The New Zealand government is a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The Convention was passed by the General Assembly on 9 December 1948.

Article II: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:

(a) Killing members of the group;

(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;

(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;

(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;

(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.

Right to Life believes that the National government of John Key in 2010 adopted a screening program that was expected to destroy the most persecuted group in New Zealand.

This program of screening for Down syndrome and other disabilities was enthusiastically adopted by the government of Jacinda Ardern in 2017.

The National government of John Key instituted the “Antenatal Screening for Down Syndrome and other conditions – Quality Improvements” program.

This program was introduced by the Ministry of Health following advice from the Ministry’s National Screening Unit [NSU] without public consultation. Cabinet papers obtained under the Official Information Act state that the outcomes of the program will be a reduction in the number of births of people with Down syndrome, with around 90% of unborn children diagnosed with the condition being aborted. It is currently achieving 60% reduction.

The preventing of birth of a group of people falls within the definition of genocide under international law.

Documentation obtained under the Official Information Act from the Ministry of Health included the document Summary of Key Informant Interviews Antenatal Down Syndrome Screening Final Report which states : “The program will be cost beneficial for the population and the health system. The scan highlighted literature that supported the premise that the economic costs of screening outweigh the high costs associated with the long term care needs of an individual with Down syndrome.

This program discriminates against the disabled:-

Right to Life believes that this screening program constitutes genocide as it: “seeks the Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group,”

It is eugenics in promoting only the birth of the perfect.

It is a violation of the sanctity of life and a  crime against humanity.

Is the Prime Minister Serious About Child Poverty?

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. The evidence for this is overwhelming, but there appears a refusal to accept this.  Society has always known that the best prevention for child poverty was for children to be raised by their biological mother and father within a committed marriage of exclusively one man and one woman.

At the 2013 census it was found that there were 201,804 one parent families, raising 212,000 children. Many of these solo mothers have been abandoned by their husband or the father of their children. It is believed that many of these mothers long for the security of having a husband and a father for their children. It is disappointing that Ms Ardern does not support the traditional family and marriage and expresses no empathy with these solo mothers who are heroic and sacrificial. [Read more…]

Procreate or Perish

Image result for abortion and demographic winterMedia Release Wed 8th March 2017

The government has found it necessary to increase the age of eligibility to receive National Superannuation from 65 to 67. Right to Life believes that the primary cause for this drastic action is that New Zealand families are not having enough children. We are facing a demographic winter. 

New Zealand has had a fertility rate well below replacement level since the late 70s. The replacement level is 2.1, our current level is 1.9. Our population is aging rapidly with a declining number in the workforce. It is estimated that by 2061 there will be 43 retirees depending on every 100 in the workforce. The aged population worldwide is currently at its highest level in human history. The rate at which our population is ageing, would be far higher if it were not for immigration. This trend is also apparent right across the Western World.

A major cause of our low fertility rate is the introduction of the contraceptive pill in the 1960s and abortion on demand in 1977. Since the passing of the Contraception Sterilisation and Abortion Act, more than 500,000 children have been killed in their mother’s wombs. These children, if they had been allowed to live would have entered the workforce and would have helped to sustain our economy and fund our National Superannuation. Many of them would have themselves gone on to have had families of their own. These missing New Zealanders are the reason we have a disturbing ageing demographic and a troublesome superannuation burden that will fall on the young. [Read more…]

NZ’s Silent Holocaust- A loss to the Economy of $20 Billion

The loss of 500,000 Unborn New Zealand Children between 1978 and 2016. The Result: A Loss to the Economy of $19,750,000,000

https://i0.wp.com/s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/a3/e9/5f/a3e95f14494b6ab8f89ef9d029076385.jpg?ssl=1It is fitting that as we commence a new year that we should pause and reflect again with grief and remorse on the 500,000 innocent and defenceless children who have been killed in their mother’s wombs, since the passing of the Contraception Sterilisation and Abortion Act in 1977. The killing of these children is a violation of human rights and a crime against humanity. Their names are unknown and no grave stone marks their resting place. 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.

Each child is a unique and unrepeatable miracle of God’s loving creation, each endowed at conception with human rights, the foundation right being an inalienable right to life. As a nation, we should weep for our children who came seeking only to love and to be loved. They came endowed with talents to enrich our nation. It is fitting that we should grieve for our beloved dead, brothers and sisters who were murdered in their mother’s wombs. It is important that we remember those who were not allowed to be born. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” Their demise should fill us with grief. We should recognise them as members of our human family and God’s precious infants, children who were lovingly knitted together by their Creator in their mother’s womb.

Right to Life asks, Why is there a deafening silence from the churches? [Read more…]

Moody’s warns investors: Aging to reduce economic growth worldwide

by 2 Comments

The following post by Shannon Roberts is from MercatorNet’s  Demography is Destiny website and is cross-posted here. 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……  

The Moody’s Global Credit Research Team, which regularly prepares reports for investors and finance firms, warned investors this month in a special report that ‘the unprecedented pace of aging’ will slow economic growth over the next 20 years worldwide. 

Aging reduces economic growth because it reduces labour supply, and causes saving rates to decline which reduces business investment.  It makes sense that over 65’s are spending their savings, rather than making further investments.
