NZ Ministry of Health Shockingly Supports the Killing of the Unborn Child to be no longer a Crime

Right to Life is disappointed that the Ministry of Health in its submission to the Law Commission on its review of the abortion laws, supports the government’s proposal “that abortion be a reproductive health choice for women”. The Ministry claims; “Legal termination of pregnancy is much safer for women than giving birth.”  This is simply nonsense and the fact that it is coming from the Ministry is nothing less than abominable.

The submission signed by Ashley Bloomfield, CEO of the Ministry of Health [pictured here] sadly supports a culture of death in place of a culture of life which should pervade health services in New Zealand. The submission presents a sad reflection on an increasing culture of death which pervades the Ministry. Since 1977 the Ministry has classified the killing of children before birth as a core health service. It has established killing centres in 20 Public Hospitals where more than 500,000 unborn children have been violently killed. 

The unborn child is a patient who is entitled to special care and protection. The Ministry refuses to acknowledge that when they are caring for a woman with child, that they have the privilege and duty to care for two patients, the mother and the child.

The submission denies the stark reality that abortion kills an innocent and defenceless unborn child. It seeks to dehumanise the unborn child. It states that the child should be called a fetus and never a child and it denies that the unborn child has right to life. The Ministry insists that we do not use the term abortion and instead use the term termination of pregnancy service. The submission advises that staff at District Health Boards have been instructed to use these terms. Right to Life believes that this is to hide the reality that abortion kills an innocent human being and to attempt to remove the stigma that is associated with killing children in the womb.

The submission claims that abortion is safer than allowing a child to be born, ignoring the stark reality that in every abortion a child is violently killed; It claims that complications are very rare and that there is no link between abortion and breast cancer. International research debunks these assertions.

The Ministry is opposed to health professionals having a legal right to exercise their conscience in refusing to facilitate or participate in the killing of an unborn patient. The Ministry calls this exercise of conscience, “gender based discrimination.” Conscience rights are at the heart of the right to freedom of speech and the practice of ethical medicine and we remove them at our peril.

Right to Life fully supports the continued legal protection of the conscience rights of doctors and nurses, anything less means we are moving towards tyranny. Right to Life believes that the removal of conscience rights would ultimately result in doctors and nurses who refuse to be involved with the killing of unborn patients being driven from their professions.

Right to Life requests that the Minister of Health, the Hon Dr. David Clark, take urgent steps to take action against an executive that is not just anti-life but which seeks to remove our most cherished and basic freedoms. We seek this action to ensure that our health services have the utmost respect for our health professionals and the right to life of all patients, both born and unborn.

Documenting the tide of bigotry and hatred

by Leave a Comment

The following article is a re-post  concerning the Australian Same Sex Marriage Debate  from MercatorNet and is by Margaret Colwell Sep 22 2017

Everyone should be concerned over the growing discrimination, persecution and vilification of Christians which is occurring in Australia.  Not only is the government failing to protect the human rights of Christians, but often it seems to be enabling discrimination and persecution through legislation and comments made by parliamentarians.

I believe we desperately need religious freedom provisions in the Australian Constitution to ensure that Christians are free to live out their beliefs safely and legally. The denial of religious freedom has always been a hallmark of totalitarian regimes; such oppression is becoming common in many countries now under the guise of anti discrimination laws. This has no place in a free country.

Allow me to document this controversial assertion.

As predicted, the debate regarding the redefinition of marriage has, as some predicted, unleashed a tide of hatred and bigotry. However, overwhelmingly, this has been squarely aimed at Christians. Listed below are numerous occasions where Christians have been the target of unwarranted discrimination, persecution and vilification. Hardly any of those people who vilified, harassed and assaulted Christians experienced any detrimental legal or social consequences for it.  Most of them remain in positions of authority and influence.

PPTA Pushes Exclusive & Confusing A-Gender

by 2 Comments

The following article is a re-post of a media release by Family First published on  29th May 2017

Family First NZ says that new guidelines being pushed by the PPTA in schools are not inclusive, they are exclusive, and most schools will continue with business as usual focusing on bullying and mental health issues experienced by all school students.

“Schools should be a ‘safe and affirming environment’ for all students and most schools are achieving this. The fact that the PPTA are pushing this “diverse sexualities and genders” agenda should concern all parents,” says Bob McCoskrie, National Director of Family First NZ.

“Schools are keen to deal with the bullying issue but they are taking a full school community approach. The PPTA guidelines ignore the far greater proportion of students who are bullied for the more common reasons of body image, racial background, disabilities, and academic success or failure. And of course the major prevalence of cyber-bullying.”

“Unfortunately, overweight students, students with acne or a speech impediment or a physical disability, or who are struggling academically, or students from a different culture don’t have a PPTA-sponsored ‘lobby group’. Their cause is not politically sexy enough.”

“But what is most ironic in all of this is that any student that doesn’t buy in to the group-think that is expected and dictated, even if it doesn’t affect the way they relate with other students, will immediately be bullied themselves with terms such as ‘homophobic’, ‘transphobic’, and ‘bigoted.’ Getting rid of all bullying is obviously not the key message of these groups,” says Mr McCoskrie.

Will the Government now support Life and Family at the United Nations?

by Leave a Comment

Right to Life believes that New Zealand can be pleased with the many positive initiatives that have happened at the United Nations under the former Prime Minister John Key. Unfortunately there have been a number of others where New Zealand has been at the forefront of pushing what can only be described as policies that promote a culture of death. With a new Prime Minister, we now have the opportunity to adopt policies that will faithfully promote a culture of life. It is time that New Zealand was faithful in upholding the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. It is shameful that New Zealand has no policy on the horrendous human rights abuses which have been inflicted on the long suffering people of China since 1979 with its one child family policy, now extended to allow two children. In spite of this relaxation, the human rights abuse in that country continues.

China violates the Declaration of Human Rights by inflicting the following restrictions on the human rights of its own citizens: China outlaws men marrying before 22 years of age and women before 20 years of age. China demands that families have a permit to have a child, with compulsory abortion for unauthorised pregnancies; China imposes compulsory contraception and sterilisation. Since 1971 there have been more than 330 million abortions and more than 196 million compulsory sterilisations. Failure to comply with these draconian restrictions results in punitive fines, imprisonment, destruction of homes and loss of employment. These are horrendous crimes against humanity. How can our government continue to remain silent? Is our trade with this country more important than us supporting human rights? [Read more…]

Green Party challenges Religious Freedom

Media Release Sunday 1st January 2017

In defence of Bishop Brian Tamaki and freedom of speech Right to Life makes the following comments.

Metiria Turei (pictured), co- leader of the Greens and presumed spokesperson for the LGBTQI movement, used speaking time at Parliament to accuse the leader of the Destiny Church of undermining human rights and of hate speech.

In doing so she appears totally unaware of the total hypocrisy  of her statements for this is a prime example of intolerance in the name of tolerance.

Brian Tamaki in a Sunday sermon the day before the Kaikoura earthquake, had preached that “certain human sin” was responsible for natural disasters. The issue is not whether he is correct in attributing the earthquakes to God, but rather does he have the right of free speech and religious freedom to preach. It would appear that Metiria Turei does not believe he does and her attitude here seem to suggest that she would like to see freedom of speech and religion in New Zealand curtailed. [Read more…]

Student: Gay-straight alliances are NOT a safe place for me

Featured ImageThe following post is a re-post from LifeSiteNews

The author didn’t want us to use his name because of fear of retaliation.

I am a Christian kid and I wrote this reflection when I was in grade 10 a couple years ago. With everything that is going on, I have to speak up.

But first, here is what Buzzfeed has to say about the new “Gender Policy” that has been released in Alberta:

The end goal of all this? To make sure everyone feels safe, welcome, and valued at school.”

Let me get this through your head: I DO NOT FEEL SAFE.

This idea that Gay Straight Alliances make a safe space for everyone, is false.

Minister of Health,

Parliament Building,

25th October 2016

Dear Dr Coleman

Official Information Act – Request

This request for information under the Official Information Act was previously sent to the Minister of Education on 16 September 2016. In a letter from the Ministry of Education dated 21 October my request was declined on the grounds that the information does not exist. I assume that the requested information is held by your Ministry. I believe that the writer had an obligation to refer my request to your Ministry.

I wish to request under the Official Information Act the following information:-

  • The total funding provided by your Ministry to the Family Planning Association and to Rainbow Youth for their contribution to the drafting of the school sexuality programme, “Inside Out”?
  • The estimated number of schools in New Zealand that have rejected the sexuality programme, “Inside Out”?
  • As it is the intention of your Ministry to address the issue of bullying in schools, why has your Ministry drafted the programme “Inside Out” that does not include the other causes of bullying in schools?
  • As parents are the first educators of their children, why has your Ministry not consulted with Parent Teacher Associations and taken advice on the drafting of this very controversial sexuality programme?
  • Prior to the drafting of this programme, had the Ministry received submissions from parent and teacher groups calling for this programme?

Family Life International Video Exposes the Manufactured Gender Identity Crisis

by Leave a Comment

image Family Life international has recently produced a new hard-hitting video exposing the gender identity crisis, showing how in the name of tolerance, diversity, and freedom children and families are deliberately being targeted.

The video, Family Planning’s Manufactured Gender Identity Crisis,  the second in the series,  delves into the concept of identity and the direct and deliberate attack on sexual norms that entices people to give in to selfish whims and fantasies.

The New Zealand Family Planning Association has hijacked the sexuality education of our children away from parents. Now they have embarked on a Gender Identity ideology that literally defies reality. They are pushing it on our young children in the name of protecting them from bullying. But it is harmful and amounts to nothing less than child abuse. Parents need to know about this madness and resist the FPA’s plans to destroy the innocence of Kiwi children.

This push to indoctrinate children is not confined to New Zealand. It is a push coming from many leaders of the western world including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The United Nations is also at the forefront of pushing this dangerous change as Right to Life has informed in it’s 19th September Post. Australia is also under attack .  In a post entitled  “The New Language of Transgenderism in Australian Schools”  MercatorNet.com reports that a leading academic has described  Australia’s Safe Schools program as so bizarre and fact-free that it can be described as a cult.

New Zealand’s Family First is also working to expose the propaganda being pushed on our children with Bob McCoskrie saying “It’s time that Ministry of Education placed priority on scientific evidence and sound medical practice, rather than bowing to ideology and special interest groups pushing an agenda.”

Right to Life will continue to work with the above organisations to expose the transgender agenda. It is vital that New Zealand wake up to this very real threat that this ideology now being disseminated in our schools poses. The very future of our children is at stake.

Gabriele Kuby, a visiting German speaker and  the author of “The Global Sexual Revolution,” who is an expert in these issues is currently touring New Zealand. She will be speaking in Christchurch on Wed 21st September at Christ the King Parish Hall, 90 Greers Rd, Burnside Christchurch at 7.30 pm and also at the Voice of the Family – the future of humanity Conference at the Bruce Mason Centre in Takapuna Auckland this weekend 23 to 25th September.
