Date: Monday 20th July, probably from 10am to 1pm.

Before Justice Forrest Miller

Purpose: Declaratory Orders.

Right to Life will seek to have Justice Miller issue clear declaratory orders to the ASC setting out the statutory powers and duties of the ASC.

by Leave a Comment

hear_no_see_no Dear Mr Ryall,

Re: Consent Form – Abortion

Thank you for your letter of 4 June 2009 on the issues of ultrasound scans and the consent form for an abortion. Thank you also for your advice that we should take up the issue of an amendment to the consent form for abortions with the Abortion Supervisory Committee. On the 26 May 2009 our Society wrote to the Committee providing them with a copy of your letter. We requested that they give consideration to supporting the suggested amendment and write to all the District Health Boards [DHBs] requesting that they amend their consent form for abortion. In their letter of 8 July the Committee declined to take action.

Demographic Winter/Demographic Bomb Two New Videos Exposing the Myth behind Population Explosion

by Leave a Comment

Contrary to popular belief, it is not a population explosion problem that the world is facing but entirely the opposite. A imagenewly released documentary video by SRB Documentaries claims that the global economic crisis is partly symptomatic of the global population crisis. The company had earlier released a video in 2008 entitled “Demographic Winter” which  contradicted the idea that the world is facing an overpopulation problem. The company has now announced a sequel with the release of “Demographic Bomb: demography is destiny”.  As the web-site for Demographic Winter: The Decline of the Human Family, explains, the phrase “‘Demographic Winter’ denotes the worldwide decline in birthrates, also referred to as a ‘birth-death,’ and what it portends.” Click on each graphic to go to trailers for each video.

Letter to Tony Ryall, Minister of Health Re: Embryonic Stem Cell Research

by Leave a Comment

stem cell research

The letter posted below is posted as a ‘template’ and we encourage persons concerned about misuse of embryonic stem cell research to use it or modify it when writing to the Minister of Health Tony Ryall and also to their local MP concerning this issue. The writing of letters to express concern is regarded as a very important mechanism to advise the government of opposition to this proposed research which we see as a gross violation of the sanctity of human life.

Dear Sir,

I amopposed to the recommendation made to the Minister of Health, by the Advisory Committee on Assisted Reproductive Technology, [ACART] that permission be granted for the use of human embryos for embryonic stem cell research in New Zealand. [Read more…]

All the wars ever fought

abortion All the wars ever fought,

All the holocausts ever perpetrated,

All the plagues that ever raged,

All the bombs that ever dropped,

All the famines that ever laid waste to the land, put together, have not killed the number of human beings wiped out by abortion.

Abortions Authorised on Mental Health Grounds a Farce – Dr Margaret Sparrow

by 6 Comments

image The Abortion Law Reform Association, [ALRANZ] on 16 June issued a media release in response to the release by Statistics New Zealand of the abortion statistics for 2008. Dr Margaret Sparrow, President of ALRANZ stated:

“We would like to see the abortion law reflecting what happens. We totally agree with the anti-abortion groups who say that it is ridiculous that 98 per cent of abortions in New Zealand are done on mental health grounds, because that is patently a farce.”

Dr Sparrow was for many years the Director of the Parkview Abortion facility in Wellington and during this time terminated the lives of thousands of unborn children..

Abortion Statistics 2008

by Leave a Comment

image There were 17,940 abortions reported in New Zealand in 2008.Right to Life New Zealand is pleased with the reduction of 440 abortions on the 18,380 abortions performed in New Zealand in 2007. This is good news for our unborn children and their mothers. We believe that one of the reasons for the decrease is the increasing recognition in the community that abortion not only destroys an innocent and defenceless unborn child but is also harmful to the physical and mental health of women.

Right to Life is concerned about the lawfulness of many of the abortions authorised in 2008. The statistics for 2008 reveal that 98% of abortions performed were authorised on the grounds of serious danger to the mental health of the mother, this statistic has been constant since 1977. This conclusion on the lawfulness of these abortions is supported by the judgment of Justice Miller, in the High Court in Wellington, in the judicial review of the Abortion Supervisory Committee.
