Secretary,

Abortion supervisory Committee,

Dear Ms Melkiau

Official Information Act Request

The New Zealand Family Planning Association were issued a limited abortion licence for the performance of abortions at its Tauranga clinic in April 2013.

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

  • The number of abortions performed at the Tauranga clinic?
  • The number of requests for abortion that were declined by certifying consultants serving the Bay of Plenty District Health Board area since the commencement of abortions at the FPA clinic?
  • The number of women who had an abortion at the Tauranga clinic who received pre- decision counselling?
  • The number of women who had an abortion at the Tauranga clinic for whom a complication resulting from the abortion was reported by the operating surgeon?
  • Is it a requirement that the Mifigyne RU 486 and the Misoprostol drugs be administered by, or in the presence of a registered medical practitioner?
  • May women having an abortion at the Tauranga clinic take the prostaglandin, Misoprostol in their own home, as is the common practise in Britain?

42 Botched RU 486 Medical Abortions in Just One State But ASC Says Yes in NZ

by Leave a Comment

NZ Family Planning, an affiliate of Planned Parenthood International have recently gained a licence from New Zealand’s Abortion Supervisory Committee to open a clinic to perform chemical RU 486 abortions in Tauranga. Family Planning had plans to open 30 new clinics, aka, ‘killing centres’  but withdrew all but the Tauranga application after Pro-Life groups around the country made their plans known to the public. 

The following article is from the Townhall.com  website which features information concerning 42 botched chemical RU 486 abortions in the state of Ohio alone.

That an official body of the NZ government seems to think it is acceptable to grant a licence to allow for new ways to kill future generations of our unborn children is reprehensible. What sort of health system are we now tolerating that is finding new ways to kill our precious unborn children, whose only ‘crime’ is that they are wanted?  What level of selfishness does this show within our sick society when we have those who are prepared to kill other humans in order to live as they wish? Thousands of infertile couples are desperate to adopt new born children but we still have nearly 16,000 abortions per year yet only around 14 adoptions per year outside of the family. So instead of promoting adoption as a win win answer to the problem of abortion, New Zealand has instead decided it is a good idea to promote more killing. And we wonder why we have a problem with child violence.

Read on for  the article on botched medical (chemical) abortions in Ohio.

Tauranga Hospital Board Enters Agreement with Bay Of Plenty District Health Board to Perform Medical Abortions on Unborn Children

11 June 2013

Chief Executive Officer,

Bay of Plenty District Health Board,

Dear Sir,

Official Information Act Request

It is understood that your Board has entered into an agreement with the New Zealand Family Planning Association to provide funding for medical abortions at its Tauranga clinic. I wish to request the following information under the Official Information Act:

It is believed that there are no certifying consultants resident in Tauranga or employed by your Board. What is the procedure for the authorisation of abortions to be performed at the Tauranga clinic?

It is commendable if the staff employed by your Board do not wish to be involved in the killing of defenceless unborn children.

  • Is this the reason for abortions not being performed in your Board’s facilities?
  • What is the funding provided by your Board to the FPA for each medical abortion?
  • What is the period for the contract for the provision of abortions?
