Do you consent to funding the killing of unborn children

Media Release 13 October 2025

The multimillion dollar abortion industry in New Zealand is funded by the government with your taxes.

The first duty of the government is to protect the right to life of every member of the community from conception to natural death, and not to preside over the destruction of their life.

The government foolishly and arrogantly defies the 5th Commandment of God: “You shall not kill”, believing that they can kill the unborn with impunity.

Right to Life believes that the government would be foolish and unwise to believe that God, the author of life, will not in His good time hold them responsible for the murder of His precious infants and the damage inflicted on their mothers, the second victims of abortion.

Right to Life believes that the government has made us complicit in the murder of the unborn by taxing us to pay for their killing. It has also made you complicit in their disobedience to God in their violation of God’s explicit fifth Commandment, “thou shalt not kill”.

Do you consent to being complicit in the murder of the unborn with your taxes to be used to fund the abortion industry?

We have a duty as citizens in a democracy to pay taxes to the government to protect life and promote the common good.

The government deceives the community by falsely claiming that abortion is a health service. Abortion is not a health service, it violently kills an innocent and defenceless unborn child and wounds the mother spiritually, emotionally, physically and psychologically and inflicts on her a lifetime of unbearable grief, pain and regret at the loss of her precious child.

We have a duty to protest to government at its unjust use of our taxes, and demand that it ceases funding the murder of our nation’s unborn, the weakest and most defenceless members of our human family. This is a violation of human rights and a crime against humanity.

Right to Life will not rest until the government ceases the murder of the unborn and the war against women, and legislates to recognise the humanity of the unborn child, endowed with an inalienable right to life from conception and to provide all the love and help that is needed for pregnant women to bring their child to birth.
