Media Release 24 February 2026 In response to an OIA request, Right to Life was advised by the Ministry of Health that only 1,840 women, 10% of the women who had an abortion in 2024, sought pre-abortion counselling. Right to Life believes that many of these women who are coerced to kill their child before it is born, are discouraged by those intimidating the women not to seek counselling. The Ministry of Health claim that they strongly encourage women to receive pre abortion

Media Release 17 February 2026 Right to Life is a voice for unborn children, Gods precious infants and for their mothers, we will not be silenced. New Zealand will be conducting a nationwide General Election on 7th November 2026, to elect a parliament to govern us for the term of 3 years. Those who govern us do so with the consent of the governed. The fundamental duty of our Parliament is to protect the life of every person in our community, from conception to natural death.

Media Release 12 February 2026 Right to Life is opposed to the murder of both born and unborn children. Every child unborn and born is a unique and unrepeatable miracle of God’s loving creation. The torture and murder of Malachi Subecz was a deplorable crime. God has commanded us in the sixth commandment, “thou shalt not kill.” This is a complete prohibition of the killing of both the born and the unborn. We challenge God’s wrath at our peril, when we defiantly kill His preci

Media Release 7 February 2026 Right to Life believes that outside every abortion clinic in New Zealand there should be a sign that reads:- This abortion clinic is open with the permission of the local churches! Right to Life believes that this sign would be true and appropriate, as there is little evidence of local churches expressing opposition publically to the murder of unborn children by abortion, and the operation of an abortion clinic in their community. When the churc

Media Release 1 February 2026 Right to Life believes that those who govern do so with the permission of the governed! When is the government going to ask us for our permission to use our taxes to fund a culture of death Inflicted on our community by IPPF and the FPA, (Family Planning Association), now known as Sexual Wellbeing. Sexual Wellbeing is a registered charitable trust. Murdering the unborn is not a charity. Right to Life believes that it is an absurd obscenity that

Media Release 25 January 2026 Right to Life requests that the Ministry of Health cease threatening doctors with prison or a fine of up to $20,000 dollars, if they dared to save the life of an unborn baby from abortion, using the prohibited Abortion Pill Reversal protocol. The Ministry has banned Progesterone being prescribed as the Abortion Pill Reversal protocol, and refuses to accept that the birth of more than 7,000 babies internationally from stopped medical abortions is

Media Release 19 January 2026 Right to Life is concerned at the deafening silence of the daily newspapers in New Zealand refusing to publish any information on the Ministry of Health’s annual report on abortion statistics for 2024, released on 10th December 2025. Right to Life asks: Are pilot whales of greater value than unborn children? Recently all daily newspapers gave extensive coverage to the stranding of 55 pilot whales, the heroic efforts of hundreds of volunteers who

Media Release 14 January 2026   More human beings died from abortions in New Zealand in 2024 than from  any other cause of death.   Right to Life is appalled that death by abortion is the major cause of death in New Zealand. In 2024 there were a total of 37,782 recorded deaths in New Zealand. The number of  deaths caused by abortion in 2024 totalled 17,785. Nearly one in five healthy children in normal pregnancies are murdered before they are born, a grievous offence to God t

Media Release 7 January 2026 The Wildlife Act 1953 provide absolute protection for the lives of lizards and their unborn. Right to Life asks: "why then does the government uphold the Abortion Legislation Act 2020, which allows the killing of unborn children effectively for any reason up to birth”? All native lizards (skinks and geckos) are "absolutely protected" under the Wildlife Act 1953. For an individual, the maximum penalty for hunting or killing protected wildlife is:
