Media Release 2 September 2023
The Prime Minister, Christopher Hipkins, has launched his campaign for the re-election of his government for a further 3 years, to complete their secular humanist agenda.
He has pledged,”I want to bring New Zealanders together and I will be a leader who’s in it for everyone.”
Right to Life asks, why does everyone not include our precious unborn children?
Right to Life applauds this constructive pledge. Right to Life, on behalf of our unborn, the weakest and most defenceless members of our human family asks:-
• Why do you refuse to accept that the unborn child is a human being from conception and that it is a serious crime to kill the child?
• Why do you refuse to accept that the unborn child is endowed by its Creator at conception with an inalienable right to life?
• Right to Life believes that your first duty as Prime Minister is to protect the lives of every member of our community from conception to natural death, why are you not fulfilling your duty?
If you are not prepared to protect the lives of our precious unborn and the vulnerable in our community, why should we trust you to protect our lives?
You have asked us; “Help us to fight for a New Zealand we can be proud of.”
Right to Life believes that your Labour/Green government is the most anti-feminist, anti-life and anti-family government we have ever had. We are not proud of what you have inflicted on our nation.
Since 2017, your government has authorised and funded the killing of more than 80,000 innocent and defenceless unborn New Zealanders. These children were to be the parents of the next generation. We now have a catastrophic birth rate of 1.61, the lowest rate in our nation’s history. Why are you silent as we face a collapse in our birth rate?
The End of Life Choice Act 2019 was supported by you and the majority of your caucus and introduced on 7th November, 2021. A total of 214 defenceless vulnerable patients were killed fully funded by your government up to 30 September, 2022.
The hospice movement is facing a financial crisis as your government continues to under fund it.
The Safe Area legislation was supported by you and the vast majority of your caucus.
On 25th August your government introduced the first 6 safe area designations for abortion providers. This legislation victimises women seeking an abortion and makes it an offence to offer help to a woman within the 150 metre safe area.It also violates our right to free speech and assembly, guaranteed by the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.
Your government has decreed that pharmacies and general practices are abortion providers and that they may apply for a safe area designation.
There are more than 4,160 general practices in New Zealand and more than 900 pharmacies.
Right to Life believes that it is your intention to criminalise praying in safe areas and all opposition to the killing of the unborn. Right to Life is not proud, but ashamed of what your government has done and encourages the community at the next election, to elect men and women who will, to our Parliament, defend the right to life, stop the war on women and repeal the abortion, euthanasia and safe area legislation, take back our country
