Media Release 7 September 2024
Right to Life asks the Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon when is he going to stop the State funded torture and killing of unborn children in care?
Right to Life commends the government for accepting the report of the Royal Commission’s enquiry into the abuse of children in care. The Commission reported that hundreds of children were cruelly tortured in the adolescent unit at the notorious Lake Alice hospital in the 1970s. The Lake Alice hospital was closed by the government in October 1999.
The Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon is commendably committed to making a public apology to the nation on 12th November 2024 for the abuse and torture of children in State care at Lake Alice Hospital.
“What the Lake Alice survivors went through was profoundly disturbing. It is reprehensible that this has occurred in New Zealand,” Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says.
“I want to thank the Lake Alice survivors for their determination to ensure what they suffered was brought to light. I am sorry it has taken so long for this acknowledgement of torture.”
Right to Life believes that while the Lake Alice Hospital has mercifully been closed, children are still being abused, tortured and killed in the care of the State in public hospitals in New Zealand, under the guise that they are receiving “health care.”
Since 1978 more than 600,000 unborn children in the care of the State have been violently and painfully killed in public hospitals, by being poisoned, sucked out of their mother’s wombs or being dismembered.
Mr Luxon, why are you profoundly disturbed at the torture of children at Lake Alice Hospital, and yet you choose not to hear the silent screams of our precious unborn children being murdered every day in our public hospitals. ?
There are no survivors of the State-funded holocaust of our unborn. Their precious blood soaks our land. The State, seeking protection for the heinous crime of killing our own children, hides behind the legal fiction that the unborn child is not a human being, and does not have a right to life until it is born. The State’s claim that we do no harm, because we are “not killing human beings” is indefensible.
Right to Life is committed to being a voice for the unborn and their mothers who have no voice but ours. We will not be silenced until the State recognises the unborn child as a human being, a unique and unrepeatable miracle of God’s creation endowed at conception with an inalienable right to life.
