taxpayer funding of abortion

Government should cease forcing Taxpayers to Fund killing of unborn children

Media Release 12 June 2021

When is the government going to recognise the right of taxpayers to choose not to fund the murder of the innocent and defenceless unborn? The state arrogantly assumes that we all support the state funded abortion industry, but we don’t and we never will.

It is a massive injustice for the government to force us to fund the killing of our own children in the womb and this intolerable violence against women. The government is arrogant in forcing us to be complicit in the violent murder of the innocent, for their dismembered bodies to be treated as medical waste, to be disposed of at the city refuse dump and to accept the blood of the innocent on our hands.

The government of Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, and supporters of this culture of death claim that it is a woman’s right to choose to kill her child as a “reproductive choice for women” without regulation or interference from anyone else, including the father of the child and at the same time deny the taxpayer the right to choose to not have their taxes fund the killing.

Right to Life asks Jacinda Ardern and her government when are they going to allow the community the right to choose not to pay taxes to fund her government’s abortion industry on the pretext that we are funding health care.

The abortion industry is a core health service with unlimited funding and no waiting lists.

Pregnancy is not a disease and abortions are not health care. Abortion is violence against women and the defenceless unborn, and it damages women’s health.

The unborn child is a patient and abortion is the only “health service “ which is intended to kill a patient and a patient who is well.

Consider the report of the Abortion Supervisory Committee to Parliament in 1988 when they reported on the “current unwieldly system of the termination of potentially normal pregnancies on pseudo legal grounds.”

It is a travesty of justice that tax payer funded abortions take health care dollars away from urgently needed health services that are under-funded. In the governments “wellbeing budget” for 2021 more than $13 million is allocated for the killing of more than 13,000 unborn children and a further $ 5 million is allocated for the transfer of oversight and monitoring from Justice to Health Ministries. Taxpayers have been forced to pay for the killing of more than 500,000 unborn children since 1978.

Women are deceived into believing that abortion is health care and that it is their choice to have an abortion – but everyone else must pay for it.

Right to Life asks why is the government oppressing us by imposing its morality on us by compelling us to fund its abortion industry?

We should follow the American example under a Republican administration, with the prohibition of federal money being used to pay for abortions in the United States or overseas.

President Biden Leads War Against Women and Unborn

January 22, 2021 by Philip Leave a Comment

Media Release 21 January 2021

President Biden, the 46th President of the United States, stated in his inauguration speech that,” we must end this uncivil war” and that “without unity there is no peace.” President Biden supports the killing of the unborn as a human right. Right to Life believes that It is a tragedy that he does not recognise that peace begins in the womb.

Those who supported slavery, denied the humanity of Negro slaves.

Those who support abortion deny the humanity of the unborn child. When will America learn from its history?

The uncivil war which is tearing the United States apart is the war against its own precious children that has claimed the lives of more than forty five million unborn children since the infamous decision of the United States Supreme Court in 1973. It is the Democratic Party which he leads, that supports the killing and it is the Republican Party that defends the sanctity of life of every child from conception. There will be no peace in America until this violent war ceases. The culture of death will not compromise, it demands complete submission.

Planned Parenthood which funded the 2020 Democratic election campaign with more than $45 million, is responsible for the violent killing in its clinics in America of more than 320,000 innocent and defenceless unborn children every year, has issued President Biden with directions titled, “First Priorities: Executive and Agency Actions.”

“ 1. On day one, the President must issue an executive order unequivocally stating his commitment to protect and expand access to comprehensive reproductive health care, uphold sexual and reproductive rights, including abortion care in the U.S. and around the world and rescind or revoke prior executive actions limiting access to care. This executive order must: ” demands the document listing five pages of demands be implemented by the President within 90 days. It is not known what action Planned Parenthood will take if the President fails to comply with these orders.

The President is directed to demonstrate his commitment to Planned Parenthood by including in his President’s budget $1.66 billion for global family planning and reproductive health programs including $111 million for UNFPA,

The President is also directed to “nominate and appoint individuals for executive branch positions who possess a positive record on reproductive health, rights… “

The American Right to Life President Carol Tobias’ stated;

The pro-life movement has had challenges before and we have always risen to meet, and overcome, them. We will continue to do so, and we will prevail. For the babies and the medically vulnerable, we must.

Right to Life Demands Referendum on Taxpayer funding of the abortion of our own children

January 13, 2019 by Admin 15 Comments

Right to Life requests that the government conduct a referendum on the taxpayer funding of the abortion industry at the 2020 general election. The government promotes the false “right of women to choose an abortion”, yet denies the right of the taxpayer the choice to refuse to fund abortions. As taxpayers we are compelled to fund abortion, a refusal to pay taxes could result in a heavy fine or imprisonment.

Since 1977 the government has decreed without consultation and the consent of the taxpayer, that the killing of the unborn in New Zealand is a core health service to be funded by the taxpayer with unlimited funding.

This is an intolerable injustice:-

It makes all taxpayers complicit in the murder of the innocent and defenceless unborn children.

It soils our hands with the blood of the innocent, placing an intolerable burden on the conscience of the nation.

It implicates all taxpayers in the damage inflicted on women’s health through abortion.

Right to Life also again asks why, with the full knowledge that abortion is the murder of a human being, are the churches silent in protesting this appalling injustice?

The community has been coerced by this pure evil as it is promoted in the beguiling words of the Minister of Justice, Andrew Little as “a reproductive health service of choice for women”, it is not!

Pregnancy is not a disease and abortion is not health care. The unborn child is a patient that needs special care and protection. Abortion is the only “health service” that has the specific objective of killing the patient.

In 1988 the Abortion Supervisory Committee in its report to Parliament noted that we had an “unwieldly system of authorisations of abortions for potentially normal pregnancies on pseudo legal grounds.” Right to life believes that the Committee was alluding to the 97 per cent of abortions that are authorised on socio economic grounds masquerading as mental health. Dr Christine Forster, a former chairman of the Committee is on record as stating, (these) “are the grounds used by certifying consultants to provide abortion on demand”.

Right to Life believes that the majority of taxpayers are opposed to their taxes being used to fund abortion. Marist polls conducted in the United States reveal that 68 percent of those polled are opposed to their taxes funding abortion. In the United States Federal funding of abortion is mostly prohibited. Polls in the United States also reveal that the absence of taxpayer funding for abortion encourages 18 to 35 per cent of women to choose life for their baby and continue with their pregnancy.

There were 13,285 abortions reported in 2017. Why should the taxpayer be required to pay for these abortions authorised for social reasons masquerading as mental health? Abortions in public hospitals cost on average $1100.00. That is a total cost in excess of $14 million and this excludes the more than $4 million in fees paid to certifying consultants in 2017 for authorising abortions. This money should and could be used for funding genuine medical procedures, such as hip and knee operations.

Right to Life believes that the government should in the interest of the lives of unborn children; our future citizens, the health of women and justice for the taxpayer provide a referendum on taxpayer abortion funding at the 2020 general election.
