RIGHT TO LIFE NEW ZEALAND

Media Release 22 October 2026. Right to Life believes that the media should be making the community aware of the threat to the lives of unborn New Zealanders and their mothers should the Opportunity Party be elected to our Parliament on 7th November. The Opportunity Party claims to empower women. Right to Life believes that in reality many of its policies sadly disempower and grievously hurt women. Right to Life believes that the Opportunity Party is not fit to sit in our Pa

Media Release 11 October 2026 The leaders debate on TV1 on Tuesday 6 October 2026 carefully ignored the major justice issue confronting New Zealand today, the killing of New Zealanders in the first nine months of their life in violation of their God-given inalienable right to life from conception to natural death. This carefully orchestrated debate ensured that the war against women and the violation of the right to life of our precious unborn children, were both studiously i

Media Release 9 October 2026 Right to Life commends Winston Peters for rightly calling abortion murder. Right to Life believes that a nation that murders its own children is a nation without a future. In a recent interview with Bob McCoskrie of Family First, Winston Peters, when asked about abortion, said “the facts” were worth re-visiting. “At its worst, and it’s a matter of timing, but it shades into a thing called murder.” “It shades into a thing called murder or assassin

Media Release 6 October 2026 Right to Life encourages our community to vote to protect the lives of God’s precious infants and the vulnerable in our community, by voting for the New Conservative Party at this year’s general election. Those who are not prepared to govern to protect the unborn, should not be trusted to govern the born. Human life begins at conception. The most dangerous place for a New Zealander today is in the mother’s womb. The first priority for those who si

Media Release 18 September 2026 Right to Life believes that there is an urgent need for our community to oppose those pharmacists in New Zealand, who prescribe and sell abortion pills to kill God’s precious infants before they are born. Abortion providers do not deserve our patronage. The Ministry of Health has advised Right to Life that the provisional number of Early Medical Abortions (EMAs) performed in 2025 was 11871, which represents 67% of the total of 17,964 abortions

Media Release 23 August 2026 Matthew 5:10: "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Right to Life believes that the Prime Minister who commendably recognises abortion as murder should rescind his declaration that the abortion legislation is fixed law and may not be changed while he is Prime Minister, to provide protection for the lives of unborn children and their mothers. Right to Life believes that his declaration

Media Release 11 August 2026 Does New Zealand need a Prime Minister who supports the murder of God’s precious infants and the war against women? Right to Life believes that we have a serious moral duty NOT to vote for a Prime Minister nor for any candidate for election to Parliament, who is not prepared to protect the lives of all New Zealanders from conception to natural death. Abortion is intrinsically evil and violates the Fifth commandment of God “You shall not kill.” In

Media Release 28 July 2026 Right to Life believes that those who are not prepared to protect the lives of the unborn should not be trusted to protect the lives of the born. Right to Life believes that The Opportunity Party is not fit to sit in our Parliament. Right to Life is concerned that recent polling reveals that The Opportunity Party may be elected to our Parliament with just over 5% of the total party vote. We believe that they could become the “king maker” in decidin

Media Release 22 July 2026 Abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide are intrinsically evil, as they grievously offend our Creator, and violate the fifth commandment, “You shall not kill”. They violate human rights and a are a crime against humanity. The practice of medicine demands that doctors be free to exercise their consciences in upholding the right to life of every human being and doing no harm. The culture of death is opposed to the informed conscience of doctors. Rig

Media Release 19 July 2026 The culture of death is especially a threat to all human beings from conception to birth. Today the most dangerous place for a New Zealander is in their mother’s womb. From the moment of conception until it is born the child faces execution by the State. The only grounds necessary for execution is that the child lives. No reason is required and the doctor is prohibited by law from asking. From conception, children born today are the survivors of the

Media Release 10 July 2026 Right to Life supports and applauds Australian Law Professor Dr Joanna Howe’s courageous defence of the right to life of unborn children and the welfare of their mothers. In an attempt to silence her, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists [RANZCOG] recently threatened to sue her for defamation. The College claims that Dr Howe recently stated on social media “that the Royal College is a College of abortionis

Media Release 5 July 2026 The 4th July 2026 is the 250th anniversary of the signing of the monumental United States Declaration of Independence. The United States of America is the land of the free and the home of the brave. Today Right to Life applauds the American pro-life movement and the citizens of the United States for their tireless pursuit of justice and for legal protection for the lives of the unborn and for the vulnerable. We especially applaud the United States Su

Media Release 2 July 2026 Why are our government and parliament provoking God’s chastisement of our nation in retribution for the murder of His precious infants and the violence of abortion inflicted on their mothers? Poisoning unborn children, God’s precious infants in New Zealand in their first 10 weeks of life has become the most popular means of killing the unborn. In 2025 there were 11,871 unborn babies killed in Early Medical Abortions, [EMA], 67% of the total of 17,96

Media Release 26 June 2026 Prime Minister Christopher Luxon announced at the recent annual conference of the N.Z. National Party in Lower Hutt that if a National-led government were re-elected at the next general election, they would register every child at birth with a KiwiSaver account and make a deposit of $1500 into every child’s account. Right to Life commends this initiative, which recognises that our children are the future of our nation. It should, however, be seen as

Media Release 17 June 2026 Christopher Hipkins announced on Tuesday 16 June, that if Labour is elected at the next election to govern New Zealand, it would provide free pregnancy scans as part of the Medicard scheme commencing in July 2028. Why is The Right Hon. Christopher Hipkins hiding the truth, that included in this announcement are free pregnancy scans for women who are seeking an abortion, who want to know the gestational age of their baby or an assurance that they do

Media Release 14 June 2026 Right to Life believes that those who seek to govern us, who are not prepared to protect the lives of our precious unborn children, should not be trusted to protect the lives of the born. Right to Life is grievously disappointed that there has been no reply to our repeated requests to the six political parties that sit in our Parliament, asking them what their election policies are to protect the lives of God’s precious infants in the next Parliame

Media Release: 30 May 2026 Right to Life supports the passing of the Modern Slavery Bill. We are opposed to all forms of slavery and applaud the bill's objective to defend human rights. It is noted that this bill only recognises the slavery of people overseas and fails to recognise that we have slavery in New Zealand which is permitted by legislation and funded by the state. Link here to the Right to Life Submission to the government concerning the Modern Slavery Bill. Slaver

Media Release 26 April 2026 We must never forget the supreme sacrifice that our servicemen and service women made during wartimes, in order that future generations may be born and live in freedom and enjoy the inalienable right to life that our Creator has conferred on us at the moment of our conception. Throughout our nation there are hallowed monuments commemorating their sacrifice. Since the South African war in 1899-1902, a total of 96,241 New Zealand men and women have g

Media Release 13 April 2026 Right to Life questions whether Winston Peters and New Zealand First are pro-life. Right to Life is disappointed that a perusal of the policies of NZ First for the 2026 general election reveal a complete absence of any policy to protect the lives of unborn children or of the vulnerable in our community threatened by euthanasia. Right to life believes that the first duty of those we elect to sit in our parliament, is to protect the right to life of

Media Release 9 April 2026 Right to Life believes that the killing of God’s precious infants gives great offence to our Creator and is a crime against humanity. Abortion is from the culture of death and the war against women and the family. Every woman considering an abortion in New Zealand should be fully informed on the life promoting options of parenting, adoption and fostering. Why aren’t they informed ? Right to Life believes that the extremely small number of adoptions
