Welcome To Right To Life NZ, Nau mai, you are loved, arohanui.
About Us
Mission
Right to Life's aim is to work on behalf of those New Zealanders whose lives are at risk. We do this by informing the public about the dangers posed by increasing liberalism to innocent human life. We are also a powerful lobbying organsiation and watchdog. We advocate for just laws that give protection to unborn children and those whose lives are increasingly threatened by expanding euthanasia. We believe that all human beings are created in God's image and have a right to life from conception till natural death. We also oppose embryonic stem cell research and all artificial manipulation of the human genome.
Vision
Right to Life's vision is for a society that protects the most vulnerable amongst us. We seek a future for our nation where both unborn chiildren and their mothers are protected and in which abortion is not only illegal but unthinkable. Our vision is also for a nation where euthanasia is rejected as a solution to human suffering. We work towards a future where all those facing end of life are valued and provided with first class palliative care. Right to Life also rejects all technologies that seek to manipulate the human genome, facilitate eugenics and any measure that leads to the commoditisation of human life.
Our Work
-
We work on behalf of the defenceless and fight for their right to life from conception till natural death.
-
We work to repeal unjust laws and hold the government responsible for policies and laws that deny or threaten the unborn and those whose lives are vulnerable. Right to Life has pursued the government on Abortion laws through to the highest court in the land, the Supreme Court.
-
We challenge the government departments that administer relevant health and justice legislation and hold them accountable for the decisions they make .We do this by writing letters and making Official Information Act requests relating to life issues of concern and where necessary follow up by making official complaints to the Ombudsman.
-
We hold media organisations (Television, Radio, Newspaper, Websites), such as accountable for the information they publish by making complaints to bodies such as the Advertising Standards Authority, the Broadcasting Standards Authority and the Media Council. Where necessary we follow up complaints by writing to the Ombudsman.
-
We publish regular media releases on life issues and make these public on our website and through our social media channels.
-
We educate the public on the unique value and sanctity of the life of every human being and keep people informed about important life issues. This has included conducting nationwide advertising campaigns against such legislation as the "End of Life Choice Act".
-
We take part in organising and participating in marches and prayer vigils which are held to uphold the right to life of the vulnerable unborn children and the disabled, elderly and vulnerable citizens.
-
We make those women who are faced with an unplanned pregnancy aware of their options other than aborting their unborn child and work with organisations who provide support for mother and child.
-
We work together with other Pro-Life organisations in New Zealand to help protect vulnerable lives.
