Abortion law a death sentence for the unborn!

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 abortion holocaust, which is deceptively promoted as “reproductive health care”.
The State should have laws that provide absolute protection for the child’s right to life and the right to be born. Right to Life asks why it doesn’t have these laws.
There is a provisional total of 17,964 abortions reported for New Zealand in 2025. The total number of Early Medical Abortions [EMA] was 11,871. Since 2017 there have been more than 31,000 EMAs.
The State has a serious responsibility to protect the lives of every New Zealander from conception till natural death.
The State gives great offence to God, the author of life, and perpetrates a great injustice, in refusing to recognise His precious infants as human beings whom He has endowed with an inalienable right to life. It is a crime to kill an unborn child, and to inflict the violence of abortion on the mother, the second victim of abortion.
New Zealand abolished the death penalty for murder in 1961, and in 1989 abolished it for treason and other crimes.
New Zealand has retained the death penalty for innocent and defenceless unborn New Zealanders.
Right to Life asks: Why has the State declined to impose the death penalty on murderers, but retains it for the innocent unborn?
The death penalty is imposed by the State and may be executed on any child, from the moment of conception until it is born.
Today the favoured method in 67% of abortions is execution with EMAs, entailing poisoning with the abortion pills Mifepristone and Misoprostol, which was used to execute more than 30,000 unborn children since 2017.
We should learn from Great Britain, where it is reported that in 2025, one in three pregnancies ended in abortion as a result of the cost of living crisis. If we don’t provide effective legal protection for God’s precious infants, we may tragically follow Britain’s example.
