Did you hear the silent scream of the 17 000 unborn children murdered in 2024?

Media Release 4 October 2025

Right to Life asks: Why is there a deafening silence from the leaders of most churches in defence of the lives of God’s precious infants and the wounding of their mothers?

Right to Life believes that If we fail to speak up in defence of the lives of God’s precious infants then we are complicit in their murder!

The Jacinda Ardern Labour government in 2022 fully introduced chemical warfare against the unborn in New Zealand.

The government has declared war against our own children, they have become enemies of the state and any unborn child up to 20 weeks gestation can be killed for any reason because the state refuses to recognise that they are human beings endowed by their Creator at conception with an inalienable right to life.

In response to an Official Information Act request, Right to Life was advised in April 2025 by the Ministry of Health, that the provisional abortion total of early medical abortions [EMA] from the Decide National Telehealth Abortion Service in 2024 was 5,421 abortions, an increase of 1,582 for 2023.

There was a provisional total of 11,285 EMAs in 2024, with 5,864 of these being performed by other abortion providers.

The abortion industry is promoted and funded by the Ministry of Health, it is considered an “essential health service” with unlimited funding and no waiting list. The Ministry has a dedicated team to promote abortion, and the increasingly popular chemical warfare against the defenceless unborn. The Ministry is passionately committed to achieving increased access and coverage for its successful lethal chemical war against the unborn. There is nowhere the unborn can seek shelter from the long arm of the Ministry, to avoid a brutal death by starvation. The Ministry has assured expectant mothers who request the drugs by phone that they will urgently post or courier the lethal abortion drugs to them wherever they live.

The N.Z. government introduced chemical warfare against the unborn in 2001. The abortion pill, also known as chemical abortion, consists of a two-step process. First, a pregnant mother will take Mifepristone to starve her preborn child to death. Next, she will take Misoprostol to induce labour contractions and deliver the baby’s dead body.

The multimillion dollar abortion industry is promoted and funded by the Ministry of Health. The government has contracted out the killing of defenceless unborn children in their first ten weeks of life in their mother’s womb to Sexual Wellbeing, formerly known as Family Planning and to Magna Health Care Ltd.

The overwhelming majority of these children are healthy unborn babies in normal pregnancies. It is believed from previous studies that they are killed for socio-economic reasons.

Right to Life calls upon the community to protest to the government at the killing of God’s precious infants.

A nation that kills its own children is a nation without a future.
