Upholding the sanctity of Human life and Standing Up for the Vulnerable

National supports Labour’s telehealth killing unborn

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 5 November 2022

Christopher Luxon, why do you and your caucus want to continue killing me?

Right to Life is appalled that the National Party supports the Jacinda Ardern’s government’s telehealth abortion Decide programme that will provide lethal drugs to poison babies up to 10 weeks gestation as pictured. This is an abomination, the ultimate in child abuse, violence against women and a crime against humanity. How can we do this to our own children and pretend that it is healthcare?  

 Dr Shane Reti, National Party spokesperson for health was reported by the media on 1st November as saying:-

 “It made sense to improve access to abortion with a telehealth service.”

 “National is supportive of New Zealanders getting better and easier access to healthcare.”

Right to Life questions Dr Reti’s statement. Abortion is not healthcare, the sole objective of abortion is to kill an innocent and defenceless human being before it is born. Why does it make sense to improve access to killing the unborn? What sense is there in giving lethal drugs to a woman by post or courier to undergo the trauma of killing her baby alone without medical supervision? What sense is there in allowing coercion, sexual abuse, incest and rape to remain hidden?

Dr Reti voted against the extremist Abortion Legislation Act, as a doctor he should be defending the sanctity of life ethic, why is he now abandoning his medical ethics and supporting violence against women and their defenceless unborn?

Right to Life believes that we have a serious moral obligation to elect to our parliament only those people who are committed to the defence of the sanctity of life of every human being from conception to natural death.

Dr Reti’s appalling statement defending the lethal poisoning of the unborn up to 10 weeks gestation together with the policy of his leader, Christopher Luxon, that he proclaimed on 27th June 2022 following the United States Supreme Court overturning the unconstitutional Roe v Wade, decision, “These laws will not be relitigated or revisited under a future National government, and these health services will remain fully funded.”

This statement disqualifies the National Party from governing this nation. National now joins Labour, ACT, Greens and the Maori Party who are all opposed to protecting our children.  With these political parties in parliament, the most dangerous place for a New Zealander today is in its mother’s womb.

Right to Life asks why the National Party is not at the forefront in promoting legislation that recognises the unborn child as a human being with an inalienable right to life. If the National Party is really concerned about women’s health why are they not promoting real help for women to choose life for their precious baby? Why is the National Party not promoting adoption, foster care  and parenting?

0800 Decide Teleheath service – murder for defenceless unborn children

by 1 Comment

Media Release 2 November 2022

 Right to Life is disappointed that the government continues to promote the violent killing of our precious unborn children and violence against women as health care. The Decide programme intensifies the chemical warfare that the government is inflicting on our own children who are unique and unrepeatable miracles of God’ loving creation.

 Right to Life asks, If today the government provides an 0800 number to obtain lethal drugs to kill our unborn children, will justice demand that a future government provide an 0800 phone number for our children to obtain lethal drugs to kill us when we become a burden? 

 Dr Ayesha Verrall, Associate Minister of Health responsible for overseeing legislation for killing the unborn and for the terminally ill, stated on Tuesday in a media release from the Beehive, “People seeking an abortion will have better access to care from today.”

 “This is a huge step towards normalising and improving access to abortion care and I continue to be encouraged by the dedication of health professionals delivering this vital service.” The Minister as a woman and a mother should know that only women seek an abortion, men do not have a uterus and are not women. Cancelling out women is offensive.

Right to Life questions the safety of early medical abortions. According to information provided by Medical Statistics at the Ministry of Health there were 203  women in 2021 diagnosed with complications prior to discharge resulting from a medical abortion both early and late, resulting in an unknown number of women being admitted to hospital for a total of 54 days.

Today, 1st November, the government continues its war on women with the culmination of its National Abortion Telehealth service. Women are encouraged to dial a 0800 number to seek the killing of their unborn child.   If the child is less than 10 weeks old the lethal drugs are then posted or couriered to the woman’s home.

The government claims that the Decide programme protects the rights of women. Right to Life challenges this claim because the Ministry denies the right of women to change their mind after taking Mifepristone. It refuses to allow women to save their baby by accepting progesterone treatment in accordance with the successful abortion pill reversal protocol which has saved the lives of more than 2,500 unborn babies.

The first lethal drug is Mifepristone, which kills the child by starving it of nourishment, the second drug is Misoprostol which forcibly expels the child from the sanctuary of its mother’s womb.

The Decide programme is totally focused on killing the child, this programme is silent on life alternatives such as the adoption, parenting or fostering of the child. This programme does not care about women or the unborn, it cares only about promoting abortion.

The abortion industry is a multi – million dollar industry. The government has contracted out the killing of the unborn who have been classified as unwanted.  The Family Planning Association supports the killing of the unborn as a backup for failed contraception and has won a contract to implement the Decide programme with the Magma Health Care Ltd.

Our women deserve better than abortion. A nation that kills its own children is a nation without a future.

“Decide telehealth abortion service” is war on women and unborn children

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 23 June 2022

The first victim in any war is truth.

 The violent killing of the innocent unborn in the government’s new Decide telehealth abortion service is promoted by making lies acceptable and murder respectable.  A government that believes that killing its own children is a health service is morally corrupt.

 The Associate Minister of Health Dr Ayesha Verrall stated in a media release in February 2022, “A new national abortion telehealth service called Decide is the latest milestone in improving abortion services.”

 The title Decide is misleading and based on the appalling lie that a woman has a right to decide to kill her unborn child any time up to birth.

The Minister celebrates the introduction of “Decide” as a milestone and a “service” for which  we should thank the government. Sadly it is not so, it is a day of abysmal shame for the government’s refusal to protect the health of women and the lives of our precious unborn.

The Ministry of Health, in responding to an Official Information Act request from Right to Life, stated on 30th March 2022 that Telehealth requests from  women for pre-abortion counselling,

” would be referred to an independent sub-contractor by Family Planning and Magma Healthcare Ltd. This provider is experienced in abortion counselling and will provide un-biased support for those who have asked to have counselling provided.”

Right to Life believes that the unbiased counselling to be provided will conform to the government’s agenda and deny scientific truth. That abortion  is a woman’s right to choose, that the unborn child is just a clump of cells, that abortion is health care and just the removal of the contents of the uterus.

  • It will deny that human life begins at conception.
  • That the unborn child is a human being endowed with human rights the foundation right being a right to life.
  • That abortion is violence against women and the unborn.
  • That abortion increases the risk of breast cancer and the risk of miscarriage and prematurity in future pregnancies.
  • That abortion increases the risk of mental illness, depression, drug addiction and suicide.

Abortion counselling has an important function to perform in the multi-million dollar abortion industry. Every woman who receives counselling and chooses life for her child in preference to proceeding with an abortion impacts on the profitability of Family Planning and Magma HealthCare Ltd.

Government Introduces Helpline for Killing Unborn Children

by Leave a Comment

Murder of unborn is now only a phone call away. Right to Life is devastated that the government will encourage the killing of unborn children and the wounding of women with the provision of a free taxpayer funded helpline commencing on the 26th April.

 Right to Life is totally opposed to the helpline being managed by the very two organisations that are at the forefront in the war against women and the unborn, the Family Planning Association and Magma Healthcare Ltd.

Dr Ayesha Verrall, Associate Minister of Health, is jubilant that this telehealth helpline will make it easier for people to kill their unborn children safely and quickly saying “it is “a huge step.”

Family Planning is currently seeking funding from government to allow it to provide early medical abortions up to nine weeks gestation from all of its thirty clinics. Magma Healthcare Ltd has contracts with three District Health Boards to kill unwanted unborn children residing in their areas. Dr Simon Snook, founder of Magma Healthcare Ltd, is one of the busiest and most dedicated abortionists in New Zealand. These organisations shamefully consider our precious unborn as merely, ”the contents of the womb, the products of conception and the ultimate denial of their humanity, medical waste.”

Right to Life believes that the helpline will provide a potential lucrative income stream for these organisations. For every woman that they can successfully coerce to accept to kill their unborn child, they can claim a fee from the government in excess of $1,000.

We would be naive in the extreme to believe that those working on the helpline will be neutral about killing children before birth. These counsellors are employed to promote profits, not to protect women and their precious unborn. Right to Life believes that the Helpline and Telemedicine will result in a substantial increase in the killing of unborn children who are unique and unrepeatable miracle of God’s loving creation. These children are human beings from conception and are endowed with an inalienable right to life. It is simply unbelievable that the government of Jacinda Ardern approves of the killing of the unborn by simply making a phone call!

Right to Life asks the government why it is prepared to fund with millions of dollars, a helpline to promote the killing of unborn children and is unwilling to provide a helpline to provide help to women to choose life for their child or to provide funding to the pro-life and pro- women pregnancy counselling services.

The government’s program of death for the unborn provides for abortion related counselling over the phone from July 1. The final step planned for November, 2022 includes telemedicine – providing clinical consultations for an early medical abortion conducted over the phone and the couriering of the lethal drugs to the women’s home. It is intolerable that this government which claims that it is committed to keeping us safe should treat our women with such deplorable contempt and our precious children as medical waste.

Right to Life believes that it is insane for the government to be promoting the killing of the unborn especially in the light of the New Zealand birth rate now at 1.66 for 2021 as we descend increasingly into the demographic winter. The replacement level is 2.1. Why is the government promoting demographic suicide? A nation that kills its own children is a nation that does not have a future.

Government seeks tenders for killing unborn children

by Leave a Comment

Media Release 16 April 2021

Right to Life is opposed to the killing of unborn children. Abortion is an intrinsic evil, a violation of the human rights of the unborn child and a crime against humanity. It is an appalling injustice when the government of the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, imposes on our dedicated health professionals employed by District Health Boards, who see the unborn child as a patient deserving of respect and protection a duty to kill their unborn patients under the guise that it is a core health service.

It is even more appalling when Health Boards are directed by government to contract out the killing of our unborn to private enterprise. The killing of children then becomes a business enterprise with the success of the business dependant on the number of children killed in the womb. It is a million dollar industry that Right to Life believes is potentially worth nearly $4 million in the Auckland region.

Right to Life believes that this business model will be detrimental to women and to their unborn. Why is the government prepared to pay to have our children killed?  

NZ Family Planning Association have previously stated that they would like to modify their 30 clinics into abortion centres. NZ Family Planning is an affiliate of the International Planned Parenthood Federation that promotes the killing of the unborn worldwide performing over one million abortions annually.

The 3 Auckland District Health Boards, Counties Manukau, Waitemata and Auckland, in compliance with government policy, have recently invited tenders from suitably qualified medical practitioners to provide:-

·       Medical abortions up to 9 weeks with RU 486 Mifepristone which is a lethal drug used to kill the unborn child by starvation. Right to Life considers this to be chemical warfare against innocent and defenceless children. Today this is called” health care.”

·       Surgical abortions up to 14 weeks. This is a violent and painful dismemberment of the child with its arms and legs being torn from the child. This is also called “health care.”

·       A non-judgemental service integrated with other women’s health services to reduce the stigma associated with accessing an abortion.

·       A one day service inclusive of scanning, tests, counselling and abortion and the provision of long acting post abortion contraception services

·       The Health Boards claim that they seek increased access and equity for this “health service.”

·       Services in “an economically deprived community and/or [are] linked to one such as through transport hubs. Does the government seek to reduce poverty by killing the children of the poor?

Pregnant mothers in their hour of need, facing an unplanned or difficult pregnancy should be offered love and compassion and life-affirming options. We don’t help mothers by killing their children. It is a bankrupt society that offers abortion to women.

Right to Life believes the emphasis on access to abortion for Maori and Pacific women is discriminatory. We don’t help these young women by encouraging them to kill their children before they are born.

It is not yet known how much the government is prepared to pay for the killing of unborn children in Auckland, however the Whanganui, Mid Central and the Southern DHBs already have contracts with Magma Health Care Ltd to kill children before birth. The fees paid to the contracting company led by Dr Simon Snook for each child killed are:-

Surgical abortion 1st and 2nd trimester $950.

Medical abortion $950.

General Medical First Attendance $250.

Right to Life believes that contracting the killing of the unborn to private entrepreneurs is a threat to the lives of women and their precious unborn. Babies will be killed for profit. The profitability of the contractor’s business will depend on the number of babies killed. Every person from the receptionist, the counsellor to the abortionist would be focused on the killing of the unborn. A counsellor who does not succeed in having women agreeing to an abortion would have little future as a counsellor.

Right to Life asks the government that is committed to kindness, why are you making war against our women and their precious unborn? Please stop calling abortion health care.

Murder of the Innocent Unborn via 0800 and Courier

by 23 Comments

 

Media Release 13 April 2020

There is something seriously wrong with the government’s priorities when the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern declares that churches should be closed as non- essential and abortion clinics remain open as they provide an “essential service”.

While all attention is being focused on the current lock down, the abortion industry is promoting telehealth medical abortions as the solution to provide access to this “essential service”.

The passing of the appalling anti-life and anti-feminist Abortion Legislation Act perpetrated by the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern now allows medical abortions to be provided by ringing an 0800 number. The lethal abortion drugs are then couriered to the women. This is a deplorable abandonment of women who deserve to be treated with compassion and respect and given a face to face consultation.

The Prime Minister and her government have placed the nation in lock down to save lives, but has no regard for the unborn. Since the lock down began on the 25 March two elderly women and two elderly men have tragically died from coronavirus, however an estimated 665 innocent and defenceless unborn children have been murdered, mainly in Public Hospitals, authorised and funded by the government as an essential and core health service.

Prime Minister we have to ask you, why is their killing treated as an “essential service” and why are their lives considered of little value and not worthy of protection. Why are they not “one of us”?

Human life commences at conception and it is endowed by its Creator with an inalienable right to life. It should be received with profound respect and afforded the protection that is due to the human person. Every embryo, foetus, unborn child is a unique and unrepeatable miracle of God’s loving creation.  

The Contraception Sterilisation and Abortion Act 1977 has been amended following the enactment of the new Abortion legislation Act 2020 and provides protection under section 14, for the conscience of those who respect life and want nothing to do with the killing of unborn children. No person is obliged under the amended act to provide, or assist with providing any of the following, contraception, sterilisation, or abortion.

We all have a duty to protect human life from the moment of its conception. Right to Life believes that under the amended legislation that pharmacists have the legal right to refuse on conscience grounds, to fill prescriptions for lethal abortion drugs and that courier firms and their staff the right to refuse to receive and deliver consignments of abortion drugs to women or to any other address.

Mifepristone and misoprostol drugs are not medication but rather murder pills. The sole purpose of Mifepristone is to starve a growing human embryo of nourishment and cause its death. The purpose of Misoprostol in a medical abortion is to expel the human embryo from its mother’s womb.

When a doctor sends abortion pills to a woman whom he has spoken to over the phone, all medical supervision for the good of the mother ceases.

He does not know who, when, where or by whom the lethal drugs will be taken.

He does not know if a woman is being coerced or threatened with violence to take the pills.

He does not know whether the woman will suffer an adverse reaction to the medication in what can only be described as a setting where medical attention is not immediately available.

Telehealth will be used to hide incest, rape and violence against women.

This abandonment by the doctor is unethical and unprofessional and constitutes a further victimisation of vulnerable women. Our women deserve better than to be abandoned in their hour of need. The result of Telehealth is dead babies and wounded and damaged women. How long is this war on women going to continue?

Killing Unborn Children Now a Lucrative Industry in NZ

by 1 Comment

Media Release Sunday 5th April 2020

It is deplorable that the government would contract out the killing of unwanted unborn children to a private company, Magma Healthcare Ltd. This company is owned by well-known abortionist Dr Simon Snook and abortionist Dr David Bivona, previously a member of the Abortion Supervisory Committee’s Standards of Care Committee. (our emphasis)

This government has shamefully abdicated its duty to protect the right to life of our unborn children and the welfare of their mothers. It is equally shameful the the government is now contracting with a for profit company that is prepared to murder our children under the guise that this is health care.

It is believed that this company’s objective is profit. It is appalling that these abortionists are now profiting from their violently killing innocent and defenceless children. This for Profit Company was registered in May 2015 and now has three branches; Palmerston North, Masterton and a new branch launched in April 2020 in Invercargill. The company also provides free government funded abortions for residents of the Wanganui Health Board area. It is estimated that the total number of babies that will be killed by the dedicated staff of Magma Healthcare this year will be about 1,500. It is feared that this company will now be seeking to expand its business and its profitability by establishing additional abortion mills throughout New Zealand.

It is appalling that this company treats women with such disdain and trivialises the killing of the unborn child, the weakest and most defenceless member of our human family. Women who are facing a crisis pregnancy deserve to be treated with the greatest respect, compassion and to consult face to face with caring and ethical medical practitioners. A conversation initiated by a distressed woman seeking a medical abortion from an unknown person answering a 0800 phone number is neither professional nor ethical; our women deserve better.

Our women do not deserve to be treated like this. A woman with a crisis pregnancy is vulnerable. She needs to be offered protection and support, not powerful medications that place her at risk, physically, emotionally and psychologically.

MEDICAL ABORTION BY TELEHEALTH (PHONE)
This company also provides medical abortions for women who cannot or do not want to come to its clinics, they provide medical abortion by tele-abortion (phone) in most cases. At-home abortions do not require the woman to visit one of its clinics. They will have a consultation over the phone with them, explain the medical abortion and take a medical history and organise the investigations that are required. The dangerous and lethal abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol are then sent to women by courier to organise their own abortion, to kill their child in their own homes. There are real risks that the woman could haemorrhage and bleed to death.

Eduard Sakiz, the chairman of Roussel Uclaf, the French firm that developed RU486, Mifepristone, said that for women taking this lethal drug, ‘it was an appalling psychological experience and that it was a terrible emotional and physical ordeal.” Women suffered from the terrible guilt that it was because they had taken the lethal drugs, that it was they alone who had killed their child.

Right to Life is opposed to all abortions and believes that if abortions are permitted in law that they must be performed only in Public Hospitals subject to government control and public surveillance. We also urgently request, to protect women and the unborn, the government cease contracting and financing abortions to private businesses. We also request that the government protect women’s health by banning telehealth abortions, as these allow dangerous abortion drugs to be taken outside a Public Hospital.
