“Every Child Deserves the Best Start in Life” – Jacinda Ardern

by 1 Comment

Image result for jacinda ardern on abortionRight to Life applauds the Prime Minister’s commitment to ensure that every child in New Zealand gets the best start in life. This commitment was made on the 12 December 2017 when she announced that she was proud to announce that her government’s plans would lift 88,000 children out of poverty by 2021. It is our nation’s shame that one third of our children live in poverty.

A much greater poverty however, is to be deprived of your life before you are born. The best start for children would be to allow them to be born. Every year in New Zealand more than 12,000 of our children are killed in their mother’s womb. The Prime Minister who is passionate about protecting children has appointed herself as the Minister of Child Poverty Reduction. Science declares that Life commences t conception.The Prime Minister is surely Minister for all children including unborn children the weakest and most defenceless members of our human family. Right to Life asks: ‘Why Prime Minister, are you discriminating against our most vulnerable children?’

Why is the government not conducting a vigorous campaign to promote open adoption as a loving option in opposition to the violence of abortion? [Read more…]

Is the Prime Minister Serious About Child Poverty?

by Leave a Comment

Image result for jacinda ArdernMedia Release Thursday 2nd Nov 2017

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…]

Euthanasia Referendum- Just a Tool for Legitimising the Murder of the Vulnerable

by 2 Comments

Media Release Thursday 26th October 2017

Right to Life is opposed to the proposal of New Zealand First that Parliament give approval for a referendum to change the law to allow doctors to kill their patients or assist in their suicide. The issue of euthanasia is simply too complex to be put to a public vote. We believe that any change to the Crimes Act will ultimately lead to a “slippery slope” of assisted dying policies. Right to Life does not think  this is a matter that should be decided by individuals within the community.

We believe that the ground whereby doctors  can kill their patients or assist in their suicide would be constantly widened if a referendum led to a Euthanasia bill  being passed.  There are no possible safeguards that could ever ensure adequate protection for the vulnerable. There is ample evidence from overseas that once the law against killing is relaxed that the grounds for killing continue to expand. This is very clear looking at the evidence from the Netherlands and Belgium.

Right to Life is concerned that the question that is asked in this proposed referendum will be worded in such a way, as to achieve the objectives of those who are promoting euthanasia. We also are concerned that should  the result of the referendum support euthanasia, this will impose pressure on the conscience of those members of parliament who are opposed to it,  and who want to protect the community.

Jacinda Ardern Government – A Threat to Family, Women and the Unborn

by 7 Comments

Image result for jacinda ardernMedia Release 19th October 2017

Right to Life warns that we now have a government whose social and moral agenda represents a clear threat to the natural order of our society.

That natural order on which a health society is built, rests on a foundation comprising the natural family of exclusively one woman and one man. That foundation is under even greater threat with a new leader whose social agenda includes further deconstruction of time-honoured norms.

It is 75 years since New Zealand had a Prime Minister who was not married and that was Michael Joseph Savage. A Prime Minister because of their position of leader of our nation is a role model. It is therefore of concern that Ardern chooses to co-habitat with a man who is not her husband.  This sets a very bad example and gives entirely the wrong message to our children and grand-children, that marriage is not necessary. Now that she will be representing New Zealand on the international stage her domestic arrangement will reflect badly on New Zealand’s reputation. [Read more…]

Suffrage Day 2017 – Lest We Forget the Heroic Pro-Life Feminists

by Leave a Comment

Media Release Tuesday 19th September 2017

We celebrate today the victory in 1893 of Kate Sheppard and the feminist movement for New Zealand being the first democracy to grant to women the right to vote. It should be remembered that the feminist movement was also at the forefront in the defence of the natural family of exclusively one woman and one man. They recognised that the natural family was the foundation stone of a stable and healthy society. They were opposed to violence against women and children. They did not support a so called “woman’s right to choose,” to kill her child in the womb.

We are indebted to Kate Sheppard for her defence of life and family. We must never forget the importance of authentic feminism in the defence of life and family which is under increasing attack from the anti-feminist movement which seeks to destroy the family and its weakest and most defenceless member, the unborn child. Today the most dangerous place for a New Zealander is in its mother’s womb.

Right to Life urges Jacinda Ardern, the leader of the Labour party;

Who Is Jacinda Ardern?

by Leave a Comment

Jacinda Ardern wants to govern our country. Those who govern do so with the permission of the governed. The electorate has a right to know what credentials she has, what skills she has to govern and the right to ensure she provides full disclosure of her proposed policies. The media have failed the community by omitting to investigate her previous nine years in Parliament, to question her agenda and to provide this information to the electorate.

Jacinda Ardern has been in Parliament for nine years. What has she achieved? What impact has she had on select committees on which she has sat? What legislation has she drafted or influenced? She claims to be in Parliament to reduce child poverty. What has she done in nine years to reduce child poverty? She has produced one private members bill, the Child Poverty Reduction and Eradication bill: It was a one liner.

Jacinda Ardern contested the Auckland Central electorate in the 2011 and 2014 elections and failed to win the seat. What has she achieved for that electorate?

Jacinda Ardern was President of the International Socialist Youth in 2008/9. She oversaw the two permanent working groups promoting  the feminist and LGBT agendas internationally.  The natural family is the foundation of a healthy society, it is the source of the next generation. The international leaders of the LGBT movement have made it clear that the destruction of the natural family of exclusively one woman and one man is their ultimate objective. Jacinda Ardern has refused to declare that she will protect and promote the natural family. It is thus reasonable to ask her whether she opposes or supports the destruction of the natural family.

Why Is Jacinda Ardern Accusing those Defending Women and the Unborn of Conducting a Smear Campaign?

by Leave a Comment

Image result for jacinda ardernMedia Release Tuesday 12th September 2017

Right to Life makes no apology for speaking up in defence of women and their precious unborn. Jacinda Ardern has promised, that if elected she plans to decriminalise abortion in New Zealand. She is determined to override the recommendations of the Royal Commission on Contraception, Sterilisation and Abortion appointed by the Labour government in 1975. She has declared that, in her eyes, the killing of unborn children should not be a crime.

Jacinda Ardern on Newstalk ZB with Larry Williams on Monday 11 September, claimed that “there had been a huge amount of misinformation and my image has been used inappropriately.” She claims that there is a smear campaign directed at her on her abortion stance.

Right to Life in a media release on Friday 8 September 2017 asked her five very important questions concerning the protection of women and their unborn, relating to her commitment to decriminalise abortion.  We say again that Jacinda Ardern owes it to the community and especially the women of New Zealand to answer these questions. To date she has refused to do so and claims that those asking her to clarify her position on abortion are conducting a smear campaign. Her response is an insult to the women of New Zealand. The questions we have asked her are:

Simon O’Connor Quite Correct to Link Suicide with Euthanasia

by 4 Comments

Image result for simon o'connorMedia Release 11th September 2017

Right to Life fully supports Simon O’Connor. He is absolutely right to question how Jacinda Ardern can be on one hand, (commendably) concerned about youth suicide, while on the other support assisted suicide. Suicide is suicide.  This is just common sense, plain and simple and those who would attempt to argue otherwise are simply deluding themselves.

Her unwise support for David Seymour’s End of Life Choice bill gives the community the clear message that she would support doctors assisting in the suicide of the elderly, the disabled and the seriously ill. Members of Parliament and the community should have no illusions that euthanasia and assisted suicide are indelibly linked.   [Read more…]

Why is Jacinda Ardern lying to The Women of New Zealand?

by 3 Comments

Image result for jacinda ardern teethMedia Release Friday Sep 8th 2017

Jacinda Ardern is publicly committed to the decriminalization of abortion. She continues to claim that it makes criminals out of women. This is a very serious accusation. She also claims that abortion is not a crime and should be taken out of the Crimes Act. This is a very important social policy that will have catastrophic consequences for the protection in the womb of future generations yet conceived.

Abortion has been in the Crimes Act since 1856. It was the intention of Parliament since the founding of this nation to provide effective legal protection for the right to life of the unborn child. The Royal Commission on Contraception Sterilisation and Abortion appointed by a Labour government in 1975 recognized the unborn child as the weakest and most defenceless member of the human family, it recommended in its report to Parliament in 1977, that the unborn child continue to be given effective legal protection provided by the Crimes Act..

Jacinda Ardern, owes it to the community and especially the women of New Zealand to answer these questions. [Read more…]
