Why are our political parties silent on election policies to protect our precious unborn children?

Media Release 14 June 2026
Right to Life believes that those who seek to govern us, who are not prepared to protect the lives of our precious unborn children, should not be trusted to protect the lives of the born.
Right to Life is grievously disappointed that there has been no reply to our repeated requests to the six political parties that sit in our Parliament, asking them what their election policies are to protect the lives of God’s precious infants in the next Parliament.
Right to Life makes no apology for speaking up in defence of our unborn and their mothers, who are the second victim of abortion. We will not be silenced and we will cry out from the rooftops in defence of our unborn brothers and sisters.
Right to Life believes that our politicians are engaged in a conspiracy of silence, ignoring our advocacy on behalf of our beloved unborn brothers and sisters, because they believe the statement of the Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, that our abortion laws are “settled law” and will not be amended. They also believe that the community does not care and accepts the killing of children as part of our culture. Right to Life declares that killing children is not an accepted part of our culture, it never was and will never be part of our culture!
In 2024 a total of 17,785 innocent and defenceless children were killed in their mother’s womb, in abortions authorised and funded by the State, under the guise that this a “reproductive health service”. A total of 11,892 babies were killed in Early Medical Abortions, {EMA}, in 2024. In 2020 Parliament extended the workforce engaged in killing children in EMAs, to include nurse practitioners and midwives.
Parliament has created the legal fiction, that it is no longer a crime to kill a child before it is born. That it is the mother’s right to kill her children for any reason in the first 20 weeks of gestation before they are born. After 20 weeks a child may be killed up to birth if a doctor considers it “appropriate”
Right to Life requests that our members and supporters ask candidates for Parliament in their electorate, what action they will take to seek increased legal protection for the lives of God’s precious unborn infants.
