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

Murder of the Innocent Unborn via 0800 and Courier

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.
