Defund Family Planning – peddlers of death!

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 22 October 2022

Right to Life requests that the government cease funding the Family Planning Association which received more than $12 million in funding in 2020. The Association is at the forefront in promoting a culture of death in New Zealand, the war against women, the unborn and the family of exclusively one man and one woman. 

 Right to Life is making a complaint to the New Zealand Charities Commission requesting that the Family Planning Association be stripped of its charity status. The Association is not a genuine charity and breached its charity status by actively advocating for the Abortion Legislation Act by sending a letter to all MPs in 2019 requesting that they vote for the abortion bill. The Association also actively supported the Safe Areas amendment bill by making a written and oral submission to the select committee.

The Association promotes violence against women and our precious unborn. It is at the forefront in the killing of the innocent and defenceless unborn in New Zealand. The Association has won a contract with the government to participate in the million dollar abortion industry by providing the National Abortion Telehealth Service, Decide for the killing of unwanted children during the first nine months of life.

The NZFPA, a sister affiliate with Planned Parenthood of America, was founded by Margaret Sanger, a staunch eugenicist who held racist affiliations and believed in the elimination of certain groups of people. Sanger, who despised the poor, the sick, the disabled and immigrants, noted that one of the methods to “weed out the unfit” and breed a “pure” human race was through birth control. Even Sanger though, originally believed abortion to wrong, and was quoted as saying “the practice of it merely for limitation of offspring is dangerous and vicious”. How things have changed.

Family Planning faithfully follows this philosophy in holding that abortion is a necessary backup to dispose of children resulting from failed contraception. The mantra of Family Planning is the same as Margaret Sanger, “every child a wanted child.” Those children who are not planned, are unwanted and should be killed before birth while still in the womb. Adoption is not a preferred option.

Family Planning is opposed to the unborn child being recognised as a human being endowed by its Creator with a right to life. The Association included in its submission in 2012 to the Parliamentary Select Committee for Health that it was opposed to recognising the unborn child as a person and a human being endowed with human rights “as this would erode women’s access to abortion.”

The plans of Family Planning for our families should concern all New Zealanders.  This pernicious organisation provides contraceptives to our children without the knowledge or consent of parents. It arranges abortions for our children without their parents’ knowledge or consent. It produces sex education programs for our schools that encourages promiscuity. The results are STDs, unplanned pregnancies and abortions.

Right to Life questions why our government continues to fund an organization that seeks to seduce our children into becoming sexually active when and with whom they wish.  It tells our children in one of its pamphlets “If you choose to have sex it can be great when you are ready”

It is time for the government to cease funding the NZFPA and provide good quality chastity based sexuality education in schools.

“Decide telehealth abortion service” is war on women and unborn children

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 23 June 2022

The first victim in any war is truth.

 The violent killing of the innocent unborn in the government’s new Decide telehealth abortion service is promoted by making lies acceptable and murder respectable.  A government that believes that killing its own children is a health service is morally corrupt.

 The Associate Minister of Health Dr Ayesha Verrall stated in a media release in February 2022, “A new national abortion telehealth service called Decide is the latest milestone in improving abortion services.”

 The title Decide is misleading and based on the appalling lie that a woman has a right to decide to kill her unborn child any time up to birth.

The Minister celebrates the introduction of “Decide” as a milestone and a “service” for which  we should thank the government. Sadly it is not so, it is a day of abysmal shame for the government’s refusal to protect the health of women and the lives of our precious unborn.

The Ministry of Health, in responding to an Official Information Act request from Right to Life, stated on 30th March 2022 that Telehealth requests from  women for pre-abortion counselling,

” would be referred to an independent sub-contractor by Family Planning and Magma Healthcare Ltd. This provider is experienced in abortion counselling and will provide un-biased support for those who have asked to have counselling provided.”

Right to Life believes that the unbiased counselling to be provided will conform to the government’s agenda and deny scientific truth. That abortion  is a woman’s right to choose, that the unborn child is just a clump of cells, that abortion is health care and just the removal of the contents of the uterus.

  • It will deny that human life begins at conception.
  • That the unborn child is a human being endowed with human rights the foundation right being a right to life.
  • That abortion is violence against women and the unborn.
  • That abortion increases the risk of breast cancer and the risk of miscarriage and prematurity in future pregnancies.
  • That abortion increases the risk of mental illness, depression, drug addiction and suicide.

Abortion counselling has an important function to perform in the multi-million dollar abortion industry. Every woman who receives counselling and chooses life for her child in preference to proceeding with an abortion impacts on the profitability of Family Planning and Magma HealthCare Ltd.

Stop Family Planning from killing the unborn and wounding women

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 28 December 2021

Right to Life believes that the most dangerous place in New Zealand for a woman and her unborn child is in a Family Planning Association clinic.

 Right to Life is opposed to the government contracting out to NZ Family Planning the killing of “unwanted “ children before birth.

 Right to Life is opposed to Family Planning converting its 30 clinics into killing centres for our precious unborn children. The Family Planning Association in its 2021 annual report disclosed that it was now going to seek appropriate funding from government to provide abortions at all of its 30 clinics in New Zealand, this is bad news for women and for their defenceless unborn.

 Right to Life is  totally opposed to Family Planning being provided with government funding to provide this “service.” Family Planning received $13,842,804 from the government in contracts in 2021. Right to Life is opposed to the government using our taxes to fund Family Planning’s war against women, its plans for our family, its promotion of contraception, sterilisation and abortion, its LGBTQI agenda and its seduction of our youth with its promotion of promiscuity.

Family Planning supports abortion up to birth effectively for any reason; It believes that the unborn child is not a human being and does not have a right to life until it is born. It believes that it is not a crime to kill a child before birth, that abortion is a “health service” and that in the words of the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern abortion is “a reproductive choice for women.”

Family Planning is a loyal affiliate of the International Planned Parenthood [IPPF] movement which operates in 142 countries and which was, in 2020,  responsible worldwide for killing 1,120,796 innocent and defenceless unborn children.

The  IPPF was founded by Margaret Sanger,  the notorious racist and eugenics advocate, who said in 1920, “the most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.”

Right to Life believes that the proposal of Family Planning provides further evidence why it is imperative that parliament defeat the anti-life “safe areas” bill of Louisa Wall. The passing of this dangerous bill into law could result in  “safe areas” around the 30 Family Planning clinics.

This would result in any person protesting outside of a clinic at the damage inflicted by Family Planning on our families, children and communities being arrested and fined up to $1,000. This would be an intolerable violation of our rights of free speech, assembly, communication and religion.

NZ Family Planning Assn celebrate suppression of Doctors’ conscience by High Court

NZ Family Planning Assn Celebrate Suppression of Doctors’ Conscience by High Court.

Media Release 28 September 2021

Family Planning are at the forefront of the war against women and the unborn children in New Zealand. Jacki Edmund, the CEO of Family Planning, was delighted at the High Court decision of Justice Ellis to suppress the right of doctors who were opposed to killing their unborn patients of not referring the women to a doctor who would be prepared to kill them. Jacki Edmund in a media release proclaimed; “Great news and a victory for common sense and for people seeking abortion services“. She uses the noun people because she believes that some men have a uterus.

Family Planning is guilty of killing 257 defenceless and innocent children before birth at two of its clinics in 2020.

·       The Association believes that it is not a crime to kill a child before it is born.

·       That the unborn child is not a human being and does not have a right to life until it is born.

·       That doctors do not have a right to protect the lives of their unborn patients from the violence of abortion.

·       That doctors who wish to practise medicine  respecting the sanctity of life of their patients have no place in medicine.

·       That doctors are agents of the state and should just follow orders.

Justice Ellis in the High Court, ruled that none of the clinician’s rights were infringed or limited in the way alleged. Even if the rights had been limited, Justice Ellis said, the limits could be shown to be justified in a free and democratic society. Right to Life asks Justice Ellis; “ How can we justify the killing of  our own children in “a free and democratic society?”

Family Planning is a member of the International Planned Parenthood Association which was founded by the notorious racist and eugenicist Margaret Sanger, who said;

“The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it”.

That Sanger supported and praised the Nazi eugenic programme and supported the sterilisation of the “unfit” and their elimination through abortion. Does this explain why Family Planning support the killing of the disabled and those with Down syndrome up to birth?

Right to Life asks;” why does the government continue to fund Family Planning which is at war with women, their precious unborn and the family?”

Right to Life Celebrates Passing of Texas Heartbeat Bill

by Leave a Comment

An unborn child at 6 weeks gestation

Media Release 4 September 2021

Right to Life congratulates the Texas legislature for passing the pro-women Heartbeat Act. Gov Abbott signed the Act in a historic step in the battle to protect life. He said, “This bill ensures the life of every unborn child with a heartbeat will be saved from the ravages of abortion”.  It is expected that this Act will save the lives of 50,000 unborn children next year in the state of Texas.

 The Act came into force on 1 September, 2021 and prohibits the killing of any unborn child after a heartbeat is first detected in an ultrasound scan, at 6 weeks gestation. The Act provides no exceptions and will protect the lives of all unborn children regardless of the circumstances of conception.

“The Texas Heartbeat Act is the strongest pro-life bill passed by the Legislature since Roe v. Wade and will save thousands of lives,” said Texas Right to Life Senior Legislative Associate Rebecca Parma. “This is a historic day and now is the time to build on our momentum.”

It is expected that it will prohibit an estimated 85% of abortions in Texas. An appeal by abortion providers to the Supreme Court to stop the law being introduced was recently rejected in a 5 to 4 decision by the Court.

This is the most pro-life legislation to be passed by a state to protect the lives of the unborn since the notorious Roe v Wade decision of the Supreme Court in 1973.

Thirteen other States have passed Heartbeat Acts, with the objective of protecting their unborn children, only to have them challenged by Planned Parenthood and stopped by federal courts.

Those who are opposed to the war on women and the unborn are confident that this historic Act could lead to the overturning of Roe v. Wade which allows for the killing of unborn children up to birth in the United States.

Such an overturning will result in recognition that human life begins at conception, that the unborn child is a human being and that it is endowed by its Creator with an inalienable right to life.  It is expected that this could happen in early 2022 when the Supreme Court makes a decision on an appeal against a Mississippi law that prohibits the killing of a child after 15 weeks gestation.

The overturning of Roe v. Wade will impose pressure on the NZ government to overturn the extreme Abortion Legislation Act which permits the killing of unborn children up to birth and to legislate to recognise the status of the unborn child as a human being from conception and endowed by its Creator with an inalienable right to life.

The New Zealand Family Planning Association is at the forefront of the war against women and the unborn. It supports Roe v Wade that allows for the killing of the unborn throughout the whole nine months of pregnancy. It is opposed to recognising the unborn child as a human being with a right to life.

The overturning of Roe v Wade will have international repercussions for unborn children in other countries, the weakest and most defenceless members of the human family. States will be encouraged to recognise that they have a duty to protect the lives of unborn children, that it is a crime to kill an unborn child and that women should be protected from the violence of abortion. Pregnancy is not a disease and abortion is not health care.

Family Planning – promoting a culture of death

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 1 September 2021

Right to Life is concerned that Family Planning in their war against women and their precious unborn children are seeking to deceive women into believing that the murder of the unborn child in a medical abortion is a miscarriage.

 Family Planning states on its web site that ”an early medical abortion brings on a miscarriage similar to a natural miscarriage.”

“Two medications are taken for an EMA. Usually, the medications are taken two days apart, but if the pregnancy is less than seven weeks (49 days) you may be able to take both medications on the same day.”

“Once you have taken the medication you go home to miscarry the pregnancy.”

Family Planning is seeking to deceive women into believing that a medical abortion is similar to a miscarriage, however it isn’t. The medical definition of a miscarriage is, ”spontaneous or unplanned expulsion of a fetus from the womb, before 20 weeks”.

To call an abortion a miscarriage is untrue and is deeply offensive to women who have experienced pain and grief from the tragic loss of a much loved and wanted baby.

Family Planning is at the forefront in promoting the killing of children in the womb who are unwanted. It supported the decriminalisation of abortion and the right of women to kill their baby for any reason up to birth. It does not recognise the humanity of the unborn child nor does it recognise the child’s right to life. It does not recognise the unborn child as a unique and unrepeatable miracle of God’s loving creation.

Family Planning is the major abortion referral agency in New Zealand.

In 2020, 246 unborn children were killed at its Tauranga clinic.

Family Planning is a loyal affiliate of the International Planned Parenthood Federation [IPPF] that was responsible for the killing of more than one million unborn children in 2020. Planned Parenthood supports the forced abortion policy of the Chinese government.

The IPPF promotes worldwide a culture of death under the guise of promoting a “woman’s right to choose”,  but this is a lie. The IPPF and the NZFPA are complicit in the most horrendous human rights abuses against women that the world has ever known. The Chinese Family Planning Association became an affiliate of IPPF in 1983. The IPPF has funded the Chinese Family Planning Association and has cooperated with it in implementing China’s notorious one child family policy, which has now been relaxed.

China’s one child family policy started in 1979, and has resulted in forced abortions, 196 million compulsory sterilisations, the mandatory insertion of 403 million forced intrauterine devices, punitive fines, imprisonment, destruction of homes and loss of employment.

Sex selection abortions have resulted in 37 million missing girls. Since 1971 there have been 330 million abortions in China.

Right to Life challenges Family Planning to tell the women of New Zealand how the Association  can condone the massive human rights abuses against women in China and claim that they support a women’s right to choose to have a baby?

Right to Life asks, why does the government continue to fund IPPF and the NZFPA in its unrelenting war against women. Why too does the media refuse to expose the anti- life agenda of the NZFPA and treats Family Planning as the champions of women?

Contraceptive Pill – 60 years of victimisation of women

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 7 July 2021

Women are the victims of the sexual revolution inflicted on women with the introduction of the contraceptive pill in New Zealand in 1961. It was prophesied by Pope Paul VI in his encyclical to the world Humanae Vitae (on human life) in 1968, that the contraceptive pill would increase the moral decline in society.

 The prophetic warning contained in this teaching has tragically been fulfilled.

God is the author of life and all human life is sacred. Contraception has challenged this fundamental truth.

 Moral standards have declined. The pill has increased marital infidelity, fornication, promiscuity, divorce and the abandonment of women who heroically chose solo parenting.

The government is at the forefront of the sexual revolution and the war on women with the NZ Family Planning Association. They believe that the unborn child is not a human being and that it has no right to life until it is born, it may now be killed up to birth. The government should now cease funding the New Zealand Family Planning Association [NZFPA], as it is a threat to women and their unborn. The Association is also the biggest abortion referral agency in New Zealand, they also killed 257 unborn children in 2020 at their clinics in Tauranga and Whanganui. The Association receives annually more than $12 million in government funding.

Family Planning should be seen as a threat to our children and to the family. Family Planning continue to seduce our children and undermine parental responsibility. It is appalling that the NZFPA should continue to be funded by the government.

The contraceptive pill undermines the respect that men should have for their wives. It reduces women to objects of sexual pleasure and undermines their dignity as women and the nurturers of new life.

It treats pregnancy as a disease and promotes the killing of the unborn as health care and a backup to so called failed contraceptives.

The contraceptive pill and the long acting reversible contraceptive are abortifacient and destroy a human embryo before implantation.

The government approves and promotes promiscuity and fornication by funding the contraceptive pill not only for adults but for children as “reproductive health care”. The killing of more than 13,000 innocent and defenceless unborn children every year in New Zealand is promoted by the government as a core health service funded by the taxpayer.

It is time for the women of New Zealand to stand up and rebel against the war on women inflicted on them by the government since 1961 with the introduction of the destructive contraceptive pill. Women deserve better than the contraceptive pill, abortion, divorce and abandonment.

Government seeks tenders for killing unborn children

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 16 April 2021

Right to Life is opposed to the killing of unborn children. Abortion is an intrinsic evil, a violation of the human rights of the unborn child and a crime against humanity. It is an appalling injustice when the government of the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, imposes on our dedicated health professionals employed by District Health Boards, who see the unborn child as a patient deserving of respect and protection a duty to kill their unborn patients under the guise that it is a core health service.

It is even more appalling when Health Boards are directed by government to contract out the killing of our unborn to private enterprise. The killing of children then becomes a business enterprise with the success of the business dependant on the number of children killed in the womb. It is a million dollar industry that Right to Life believes is potentially worth nearly $4 million in the Auckland region.

Right to Life believes that this business model will be detrimental to women and to their unborn. Why is the government prepared to pay to have our children killed?  

NZ Family Planning Association have previously stated that they would like to modify their 30 clinics into abortion centres. NZ Family Planning is an affiliate of the International Planned Parenthood Federation that promotes the killing of the unborn worldwide performing over one million abortions annually.

The 3 Auckland District Health Boards, Counties Manukau, Waitemata and Auckland, in compliance with government policy, have recently invited tenders from suitably qualified medical practitioners to provide:-

·       Medical abortions up to 9 weeks with RU 486 Mifepristone which is a lethal drug used to kill the unborn child by starvation. Right to Life considers this to be chemical warfare against innocent and defenceless children. Today this is called” health care.”

·       Surgical abortions up to 14 weeks. This is a violent and painful dismemberment of the child with its arms and legs being torn from the child. This is also called “health care.”

·       A non-judgemental service integrated with other women’s health services to reduce the stigma associated with accessing an abortion.

·       A one day service inclusive of scanning, tests, counselling and abortion and the provision of long acting post abortion contraception services

·       The Health Boards claim that they seek increased access and equity for this “health service.”

·       Services in “an economically deprived community and/or [are] linked to one such as through transport hubs. Does the government seek to reduce poverty by killing the children of the poor?

Pregnant mothers in their hour of need, facing an unplanned or difficult pregnancy should be offered love and compassion and life-affirming options. We don’t help mothers by killing their children. It is a bankrupt society that offers abortion to women.

Right to Life believes the emphasis on access to abortion for Maori and Pacific women is discriminatory. We don’t help these young women by encouraging them to kill their children before they are born.

It is not yet known how much the government is prepared to pay for the killing of unborn children in Auckland, however the Whanganui, Mid Central and the Southern DHBs already have contracts with Magma Health Care Ltd to kill children before birth. The fees paid to the contracting company led by Dr Simon Snook for each child killed are:-

Surgical abortion 1st and 2nd trimester $950.

Medical abortion $950.

General Medical First Attendance $250.

Right to Life believes that contracting the killing of the unborn to private entrepreneurs is a threat to the lives of women and their precious unborn. Babies will be killed for profit. The profitability of the contractor’s business will depend on the number of babies killed. Every person from the receptionist, the counsellor to the abortionist would be focused on the killing of the unborn. A counsellor who does not succeed in having women agreeing to an abortion would have little future as a counsellor.

Right to Life asks the government that is committed to kindness, why are you making war against our women and their precious unborn? Please stop calling abortion health care.

Why has the feminist movement betrayed women?

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 10 December 2020

Abortion is the ultimate exploitation of women. Abortion betrays the basic feminist principles of nonviolence, non-discrimination and justice for all. Abortion is a reflection that we have not met the needs of women—and that women at the behest of men have settled for less. Women deserve better.

The Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, claims to be a progressive, republican feminist, however sadly she is not. As a woman and a mother why is she not at the forefront of defending women and their precious unborn? How can she claim to be a feminist when she was the architect of the notorious anti-feminist Abortion Legislation Act 2020, which undermines the dignity and status of women, and denies the humanity and right to life of their precious unborn?

More than a century ago, the same women who fought for women’s rights and for the rights of slaves to be free also fought to protect women and children from abortion. Right to Life and the pro-life movement today stand with women to protect women and children.

Feminism was born of abolition. All people are equal. Not all choices are equal. We envision a better day, a day when womanhood is celebrated, mothers are supported, fatherhood is honoured and every child is cherished.

The feminist movement has the responsibility of promoting protection of the human rights of women from conception to natural death, the foundation right being the right to life. The feminist movement should be at the forefront in seeking  protection of women in the first nine months of life in their mother’s womb. It was in the 1970s that the feminist movement was infiltrated by those who promoted abortion. It is important that those who are now promoting a dangerous anti life and anti feminist agenda are exposed and challenged.

Family Planning, when founded in the 1950s, was opposed to abortion. It now claims to represent the interests of women and genuinely believed that women would not be emancipated and truly free until the law was changed to make it no longer a crime to kill an unborn child.

They also believed that the stigma associated with the killing of the innocent and defenceless should be silenced by making the killing of the unborn “a reproductive health service.”

Family Planning is aware that many women having an abortion are subject to coercion and domestic violence. Right to Life advocates unconditional support for women who lovingly place their babies into the arms of adoptive couples. We applaud birth mothers, who say that “adoption can be an empowering option for women.”

We stand in solidarity with women who have been betrayed by those they count on the most, with women who have underestimated their own strength, with women who have experienced abortion and are silent no more, with young men and women who mourn their missing siblings. We mourn with those pregnant women who naively went to Family Planning seeking help and were offered :assistance” and were encouraged to terminate the life of their precious child. We mourn with men who weren’t given a choice or who contributed to an abortion that they now regret.

All of this is unthinkable.

As we work together toward that vision, pro-life feminists hope that our sisters who promote abortion will one day realize that unborn children are not their property either and that violence against them is equally unacceptable. Let us not need to spend another 150 years establishing that the children we bear are also persons.

These 34 New Zealand Organisations Supported the Abortion Legislation Bill

by Leave a Comment

Back in mid February 2020 prior to the passing of Jacinda Ardern’s Abortion Legislation Bill, NZ Family Planning (NZFP) sent a letter (see below), to all our MP’s in support of the Bill. It was signed by the leaders of 34 prominent national and regional organisations, many representing women.

Right to Life seriously questions whether the decision to sign this letter by their organisational heads is representative of the views of the majority of members actually working in many of the professions represented by them. Take for example the fact that one of the signatories to the letter was Allison Eddy, the CEO of the NZ College of Midwives. Right to Life doubts that the majority of Midwives in New Zealand would support their being required, as would appear to be the case under the new law, to not just be involved with, but rather to actually perform medical and surgical abortions. We think most New Zealanders, when they discover this, will find it abhorrent. Midwives are the guardians of life not purveyors of death.

Do the majority of members of the NZ Council of Women support our new laws which effectively allow abortion on demand up to birth? Again we have major doubts.

Right to Life urges those who value our unborn children to take action by contacting their MP to express concern about the provisions of this extreme bill. As we get nearer the election it is important that all those who uphold innocent human life do all they can to raise awareness and to push back on the encroaching culture of death.

Chris O’Brien

President Right to Life

The letter reads..

Dear (MP),

As organisations and services working for the health, safety, rights, and wellbeing of New Zealanders, we strongly support the passage of the Abortion Legislation Bill.

At its core, this Bill is about supporting women and pregnant people’s autonomy, dignity and wellbeing.

A woman knows what makes sense for her health, her body and her future. She should be enabled to control her healthcare decisions. Health professionals must be able to provide their patients with the best care possible without unnecessary barriers.

Our current abortion laws – unchanged since 1977 – are out of date and not fit for purpose. They create unacceptable barriers to healthcare access; and in doing so increase the distress, delay and financial burden faced by someone who seeks to end a pregnancy. They also result in inequitable access to timely abortion services, particularly for women living in rural areas, people who already have limited access to healthcare, and people who are affected by physical and sexual violence.

We write to record our strong and united support for the Abortion Legislation Bill as a sensible framework for safe, legal and compassionate access to abortion care.

As the Members of Parliament who will determine whether or not this Bill becomes law, we urge you to vote yes for a more compassionate healthcare system in New Zealand.
