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.

Abortion violates the right of fathers to protect their children

by 1 Comment

Media Release 1 July 2021

Right to Life supports and encourages men to protect women and their unborn children from the violence of abortion. The Abortion Legislation Act designed by the Prime Minister, violates the human rights of men to protect the life of their child and the welfare of the mother. Human life begins at conception and fatherhood commences at conception. At that moment the unborn child has a mother and a father. It is an intolerable injustice that the law denies the existence of the father, he does not exist, he has no rights. Those who promote the killing of the unborn know that it is necessary to eliminate the father, the natural protector of the mother and his child.

 The Prime Minister, the architect of this extreme anti-life Act claims that the killing of the child is “a reproductive choice for women.” Men also have reproductive rights, this Act discriminates against men. The Act attacks the family by denying that the father is the head of the family, its God appointed protector.

 The government ignores the truth that abortion inflicts on fathers a lifetime of grief,  sorrow and regret that they were unable to protect their child from being violently murdered by the State.

The abortion law gives no recognition to the fact that the unborn child has a father or that the father has rights. The child is not exclusively her child, it is their child.

It is the Creator’s plan for procreation that fathers have the privilege and duty to protect both the mother and the child. How many of the more than 13,000 unborn children killed last year would have been saved if their fathers had been permitted to protect them?

We can vividly imagine their plaintive cries for their father’s protection which were not allowed to be heard, this is an unspeakable crime against humanity.

Fathers have no right to be informed that their child is to be violently killed.

It is an appalling violation of human rights for the government to prevent fathers from protecting the life of their child from being violently murdered.

It is also appalling that fathers are prevented from protecting the mother of their child from the violence of the murder of her child in the safety of her womb. This extreme abortion legislation destroys the trust that should exist between men and women. How can a man trust a women to be the mother of his children when the State gives her the right to have the child killed, effectively up to birth, without his knowledge or consent?

The government is incoherent when it rightly holds the father responsible for providing for the child after birth while denying any right to provide protection for his child before birth.

The Hon Andrew Little in presenting the Abortion Legislation bill at its first reading told Parliament, “that we trust women.” The inference was that we do not trust men who are specifically excluded from this legislation from pleading for the life of their defenceless child destined to a violent killing at the hands of a doctor under the guise that he is providing a government funded health service.

With more than 500,000 unborn children killed since 1978 It is time for the men of New Zealand to rise up and demand an end to the killing of their children, the repeal of  this infamous abortion law and the infliction of violence on the mothers of their children.

Abortion Statistics – Thirty-six Children Murdered Every Day in New Zealand

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 19 June 2018 

In 2017 there were 13,285 abortions reported in New Zealand. This represents a 3.6 per cent increase on the 12,823 abortions reported in 2016. We should mourn with these women who are grieving the loss of their precious child. This represents 36 babies murdered every day in New Zealand. If this number of children were taken out of our kindergartens each day to be murdered there would be riots in our cities and towns. Why does our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern now want to make this killing a “reproductive health choice for women?”  Right to Life is concerned at this increased killing. However, we applaud the heroic and sacrificial women who rejected abortion and chose life for their precious infants. They deserve the generous support of the whole community. Right to Life also grieves with the women who were so often abandoned by the father of the child in the time of the woman’s greatest need and were coerced into an abortion that was chosen for her. It is a cruel mockery and charade for society to pretend that it is “a woman’s right to choose.” “Choosing” an abortion is a decision of despair and a cry for help.

The abortion statistics are an indictment on our Parliament which sanctions and funds the killing of the innocent as a core health service with unlimited funding and no waiting list; our women deserve better. The statistics disguise the reality that every child  violently dismembered in the  womb of the child’s mother is an unrepeatable miracle of God’s Loving creation. [Read more…]

Family Planning’s Continuing War on Women

by Leave a Comment

The Family Planning Association [FPA] in its submission to the Law Commission support the proposal of the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern to take abortion out of the Crimes Act and to treat abortion as a health issue that is a reproductive choice for women, rather than as a criminal issue. The unborn child has no human rights until it is born. It should no longer be a crime to kill an unborn child. 

The FPA with the requested law change intends, “to further develop abortion services to meet the needs of the community”. It would be a catastrophe for women and their defenceless unborn if the FPA developed its 29 clinics in New Zealand into killing centres. 

The FPA claim that the current abortion legislation, “is no longer fit for purpose from both a health and human rights perspective. Women’s lives and status in society have changed since the 1970s.”

Right to Life obtained their submission from the Law Commission under the Official Information Act.  The FPA submit that it is no longer necessary to have abortions authorised by two certifying consultants or for abortions to be performed in licensed hospitals or clinics. The Association believes that most surgical and medical abortions can be performed in community and primary care clinics including FPA clinics, with no specialised facilities required.

The FPA in its submission have:-

  • Rejected the duty of the State to protect the lives of the unborn, its future citizens.
  • Believes that life begins at birth and accepts the killing of the unborn up to birth for any reason including that the child was the wrong sex.
  • Accepted the killing of those those with Down syndrome, up to birth.
  • Accepted abortion up to birth for socio-economic reasons.

Right to Life asks the FPA how do you reconcile your claim to be advocates for women when you support the killing of women in the womb ? [Read more…]

Right to Life Requests that Parliament Restores Parental Rights to New Zealand Parents

by Leave a Comment

Chester Borrows MPMedia Release 6th March 2015

Right to Life requests that Parliament amend the Care of Children Act to require that parents are notified before an abortion is performed on a girl under the age of 16. The Justice and Electoral Select Committee has been giving consideration to the petition of a distressed mother and family  whose 15 year old daughter attempted suicide a year after she was smuggled out of school for a Family Planning organised secret abortion. The petition was presented to Parliament by the Hon Chester Borrows MP (pictured), in May 2015.

It is time for Parliament to amend the Care of Children Act 2004, to uphold the right of families to care for their children by ensuring that parents are advised before an abortion on their under 16 year old daughter.

Parental Notification is not an Abortion Issue but a Family Rights Issue –The Denial of Parental Notification is child Abuse. The present law is unjust and requires the support of a litany of lies from school Principals and staff who are required to lie to hide the abortion.

Parliament should ignore Family Planning who fiercely oppose parental involvement. Their fight of course is with the parents of New Zealand. Public opinion polls have revealed 80 per cent support for recognition of the right of parents to be advised if their daughter is seeking to terminate the life of her unborn child.  Withholding notification of an abortion could be  hiding statutory rape or incest. This is an appalling violation of parental rights and a breach of trust. It is a sad irony that a school requires the written consent of the parents for a child to attend a school picnic or even take an aspirin, but not to attend a abortion facility.Withholding parental notification effectively leaves the young girl with only one choice, death for her child.

Right to Life asks how many other young women have been overwhelmed with grief and guilt over the killing of their child in the womb and have taken their lives. Parliament must not allow this tragedy to happen again. [Read more…]

Family Planning Wars Against New Zealand Parents

Lack of Parental Notification for Abortion is Child Abuse

by Leave a Comment

Media Release Saturday 2nd May 2015

Parental Notification is not an Abortion Issue but a Family Rights Issue –The Denial of Parental Notification is child Abuse.

Right to Life is opposed to school counsellors and members of the Family Planning Association smuggling young girls under the age of 16 years of age out of school for a secret abortion. In doing so they may be hiding statutory rape or incest. This is an appalling violation of parental rights and a breach of trust. It is a sad irony that a school requires the written consent of the parents for permission to attend a school trip or to be given an aspirin, yet may smuggle her away for an abortion without her parents’ knowledge or consent. 

Right to Life fully supports parents and has been lobbying Parliament since 1977 for the right of parents to be notified of an abortion on a girl under the age of 16 years of age, as a prelude to the legal recognition of the right of parents to withhold consent.

To deny parents the opportunity to be informed of an abortion on a daughter under the age of 16, risks or perpetuates estrangement or alienation from the child when she is in the greatest need of parental guidance and support. It denies all dignity to the family.
