Media Release 26 July 2023
Right to Life asks next time you walk into a pharmacy are you patronising an abortion provider who has the blood of innocent unborn children on his hands.
Right to Life believes that If today the government can direct pharmacists to fill prescriptions for lethal abortion pills to kill the unborn, tomorrow the government may well direct pharmacists to fill prescriptions with lethal drugs to kill us.
It is deplorable that the Labour government of Christopher Hipkins should implicate the noble pharmacy profession in the murder of innocent unborn children under the guise that this is an essential health service, authorised and funded by the government. This is an abomination and an outrage. There are 900 pharmacies in New Zealand and more than 4,000 registered pharmacists who are being coerced by the government to violate their conscience and support its war on women and their precious unborn by dispensing medical abortion pills.
Those pharmacists who are prepared to facilitate the killing of unborn children up to 10 weeks gestation, by filling prescriptions for lethal abortion pills for early medical abortions, don’t deserve your patronage. Those pharmacists who refuse to participate in the killing of the unborn are to be highly commended, they are worthy of your patronage.
Right to Life is preparing a list of pharmacies in New Zealand which refuse to be abortion providers.
We are also preparing a list of those who are prepared to dispense abortion pills to kill the unborn.
Right to Life would be grateful if the community would advise us of the results of their enquiries with their local pharmacies in order that we may update our lists. Just go to our website www.righttolife.org.nz and click on the “Contact us” section at the bottom of the page, and send the details with your name and e-mail.
Right to Life believes that the unborn child is a patient, and that a pharmacist has a serious moral and ethical duty to protect the wellbeing and life of his defenceless unborn patient. Dispensing Mifepristone and Misoprostol for the purpose of killing an unborn patient, are violations of 2 principles, one of the Pharmacy Code of Ethics, and the fifth commandment of our Creator, “thou shalt not kill.”
Pharmacies should be selling medications and remedies to help people live and flourish, but now they are being coerced into selling lethal pills meant to kill children in the first ten weeks of life.
Right to Life believes that If today the government can direct pharmacists to fill prescriptions for lethal abortion pills to kill the unborn, tomorrow the government may well direct pharmacists to fill prescriptions with lethal drugs to kill us.
