Upholding the sanctity of life in New Zealand and Standing Against the Killing
The following post links to an article in the Otago Daily Times concerning the NZ Ombudsman’s message to Southland Hospital regarding it’s setting up an abortion clinic at Kew Hospital.
New Ombudsman Prof Ron Paterson has sent a powerful message to Southern District Health Board, in stating it should consult on controversial decisions such as starting a termination service, Southlanders for Life spokesman Fr Vaughan Leslie said yesterday.
Right to Life Media Release April 24th 2013
The New Zealand Family Planning Association has been granted a licence by the Abortion Supervisory Committee to kill unborn children at its Tauranga clinic. This is the first Family Planning clinic licenced to kill the unborn.The licence permits medical and surgical abortions up to twelve weeks. The Association is expected to use the French murder pill, Mifegyne RU 486 which is a lethal human pesticide which destroys the tiny human being by depriving the child of nourishment causing it to die of starvation.
Abortion is violence against vulnerable women and their precious unborn. Right to Life is opposed to the Association being granted a licence to inflict violence on vulnerable women and kill innocent and defenceless unborn children. Our Society questions why the Abortion Supervisory Committee would grant an abortion licence to such an organisation.
Family Planning is engaged in a national campaign to decriminalise abortion which would allow abortions on women for any reason or no reason up to the birth of the child. The citizens of Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty should rise up and make it known that the Association and its killing centre are not welcome in their community. Communities throughout New Zealand should now be alerted to the threat that Family Planning may in the near future be seeking to open an abortion clinic near you.
