National supports Labour’s telehealth killing unborn

Media Release 5 November 2022

Christopher Luxon, why do you and your caucus want to continue killing me?

Right to Life is appalled that the National Party supports the Jacinda Ardern’s government’s telehealth abortion Decide programme that will provide lethal drugs to poison babies up to 10 weeks gestation as pictured. This is an abomination, the ultimate in child abuse, violence against women and a crime against humanity. How can we do this to our own children and pretend that it is healthcare?

Dr Shane Reti, National Party spokesperson for health was reported by the media on 1st November as saying:-

“It made sense to improve access to abortion with a telehealth service.”

“National is supportive of New Zealanders getting better and easier access to healthcare.”

Right to Life questions Dr Reti’s statement. Abortion is not healthcare, the sole objective of abortion is to kill an innocent and defenceless human being before it is born. Why does it make sense to improve access to killing the unborn? What sense is there in giving lethal drugs to a woman by post or courier to undergo the trauma of killing her baby alone without medical supervision? What sense is there in allowing coercion, sexual abuse, incest and rape to remain hidden?

Dr Reti voted against the extremist Abortion Legislation Act, as a doctor he should be defending the sanctity of life ethic, why is he now abandoning his medical ethics and supporting violence against women and their defenceless unborn?

Right to Life believes that we have a serious moral obligation to elect to our parliament only those people who are committed to the defence of the sanctity of life of every human being from conception to natural death.

Dr Reti’s appalling statement defending the lethal poisoning of the unborn up to 10 weeks gestation together with the policy of his leader, Christopher Luxon, that he proclaimed on 27^th June 2022 following the United States Supreme Court overturning the unconstitutional Roe v Wade, decision, “These laws will not be relitigated or revisited under a future National government, and these health services will remain fully funded.”

This statement disqualifies the National Party from governing this nation. National now joins Labour, ACT, Greens and the Maori Party who are all opposed to protecting our children. With these political parties in parliament, the most dangerous place for a New Zealander today is in its mother’s womb.

Right to Life asks why the National Party is not at the forefront in promoting legislation that recognises the unborn child as a human being with an inalienable right to life. If the National Party is really concerned about women’s health why are they not promoting real help for women to choose life for their precious baby? Why is the National Party not promoting adoption, foster care and parenting?

State kills 146 vulnerable patients under new law

July 21, 2022 by Admin Leave a Comment

Media Release 21 July 2022

The End of Life Choice Act 2019 allows doctors to kill their patients with a lethal injection or to assist in their suicide. This legislation allows doctors to avoid being charged with homicide.

The first annual report on the number of vulnerable patients that have been killed with the permission of the government reveals that 146 patients were killed by doctors who were generously paid by the state for their services.

The report was presented to the Minister of Health, Andrew Little, by the Registrar of Assisted Dying, Dr Kristin Good. The report covers the period from 7th November 2021 to the 31st March 2022. The MOH’s website Assisted Dying Service Data and Reporting section provides further information.

The government of Jacinda Ardern has authorised and funded the killing of these patients whose lives were considered not worthy of living. These patients were killed with a lethal injection or assisted in their suicide by a doctor employed by the State. The government has a special unit in the Ministry of Health with seven full time staff to oversee and promote euthanasia. There is no unit to promote palliative care which is substantially underfunded.

ACT’s Deputy Leader and Health spokesperson Brooke van Velden was pleased with the report and said, “I’m proud of the work ACT and David Seymour did to champion the End of Life Choice Act through parliament and through a nationwide referendum. “

The government pays doctors up to $3000 for each patient they give a lethal injection to or assist in suicide. Treasury would confirm that it is cheaper to kill patients than to provide palliative care for them.

The government promotes euthanasia, which is fully funded as giving patients a right to choose. This so-called ‘right’ will ultimately become a duty to die, when we become a burden on the state.

Right to Life believes that the End of Life Choice Act actually empowers doctors to kill their patients, violates their medical ethics and avoids their prosecution for murder. Doctors who wish to be trained serial killers become the most dangerous people in the land.

This annual report should fill us with terror and apprehension as we consider living in a state where the government is prepared to decide who should live and who shall be killed, all under the guise of a health service. When the government assumes the right to decide whose lives are of value and who may be killed, we are then living in a tyrannical state, which is prepared to violate medical ethics in order to force medical practitioners to become state executioners.

The report reveals:-

101 people were still in the process of assessment or preparation for assisted dying
153 people did not continue the process (due to being ineligible, withdrawing or dying)
146 people had an assisted death.

As of 31 March 2022:

78.6% of people that apply for assisted dying are NZ European/Pakeha
55.3% are women
74.3% are aged 65 years or older
64.6% have a cancer diagnosis

The locations where euthanasia or assisted dying was carried out were as follows:

113 (or 79.0%) at the person’s home or another private residence
13 (or 9.1%) in an aged care facility
11 (or 7.7%) in a district health board facility
6 (or 4.2%) in a hospice facility.

Right To Life is committed to the repeal of the End of Life Choice Act 2019 . We will seek to expose it for the threat that it is to the most vulnerable. We will vigorously oppose the anticipated attempts by ACT to extend the scope of the killing to include those with a disability and the inclusion of advance directives. We will not rest until this evil legislation is repealed.

Roe v Wade overturn upholds constitution and right of states to legislate

June 29, 2022 by Admin Leave a Comment

Media Release 29 June 2022

The overturn of Roe v Wade was not only an historic victory for women and the unborn child but was also a victory for upholding the United States Constitution and the right of States to legislate on abortion and provide legal protection for the right to life of unborn children.

Right to Life is disappointed that all of our political leaders have failed to support the decision of the United States Supreme Court to overturn the deeply flawed and unconstitutional Roe v Wade decision of 1973.

The Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, who supports the killing of the unborn as a health service, stated, the decision was “incredibly disturbing.”

The leader of the National Party, Christopher Luxon who claims to be pro-life and believes that abortion is murder, stated in his maiden speech that he would not force his beliefs on others. He said that the Roe v Wade decision was “incredibly shocking and incredibly distressing,”

David Seymour, ACT leader, who supports abortion, stated that he was “flabbergasted.”

Jan Logie, Greens, Spokesperson for women, who supports abortion, stated, “Aotearoa should be a place where everyone …… can choose what is right for their body and their future.”

The Roe v Wade decision was the most evil document in human history, it resulted in a 49 year reign of terror and killing imposed on American women and their unborn. America has been soaked in the blood of 64 million innocent and defenceless children whose only crime was that they were unwanted.

Abortion is violence against women and the unborn. In 1973 there were 30 States that prohibited abortion at all stages of pregnancy.

The Roe v Wade decision of 1973 struck down the laws of 50 States to regulate abortion, to provide legal protection for the lives of unborn children and to protect women, the second victim of abortion, this was a great injustice and an exercise of raw judicial power by the Supreme Court in 1973.

There were 26 States that made substantial written submissions to the Supreme Court in the hearing of the Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organisation demanding the overturn of Roe v Wade and the restoration of their right to legislate on abortion. There was a vast movement in the United States of concerned citizens who worked, demonstrated and petitioned for 49 years for the overturn of Roe v Wade.

Right to Life asks the political leaders in our Parliament who support our Parliamentary democracy with the right to legislate, why they do not applaud the overturning of Roe v Wade and support the States exercising the long awaited restoration of their democratic right?
