Will Tamaki voters choose culture of life and reject culture of death?


Right to Life encourages the citizens of the Tamaki electorate at this 2023 Parliamentary election to again choose Simon O’Connor, advocate for a culture of life as their Member of Parliament.


A recent Curia poll commissioned by the Taxpayers Union revealed 40% support for Simon O’Connor and 38%support for Brooke van Velden.


Tamaki and New Zealand desperately need Parliamentarians who are committed to promoting a culture of life and who are opposed to a culture of death. Right to Life believes that a vote for Brooke van Velden is a vote for a culture of death.


Simon O’Connor, who was first elected in 2011 as MP for Tamaki, believes in the sanctity of life of every human being from conception to natural death. He is opposed to the violence of abortion against women and their precious unborn. He is opposed to doctors killing their patients with a lethal injection or assisting in their suicide.


Right to Life believes that Brooke van Velden, Deputy Leader of the ACT party, the abortion Party which supports the violent killing of the defenseless unborn and the vulnerable ill with a lethal injection or assist in their suicide, should not be trusted to represent Tamaki or to govern the born.


Right to Life believes that the unremitting war waged against a culture of life and humanity by the advocates of a culture of death is being waged at this election in every electorate in New Zealand. The culture of death seeks the destruction of the culture of life, suppression of dissent and complete submission.


This attack on the sanctity of life is most evident in the Tamaki electorate. Brooke van Velden, Deputy Leader of the ACT party the abortion Party, is campaigning to capture this seat and remove Simon O’Connor from Parliament. Van Velden is opposed to Simon O’Connor’s defence of life of the unborn and the vulnerable in our community. She believes that there is no place for this pro-life advocacy in Parliament. She has the full support for this challenge of her leader David Seymour, a leading advocate of free speech.


Brooke Van Velden, is a leading advocate for a culture of death. She believes that the unborn child is not a human being and does not have a right to life until it is born, that women do not have a right to be born and that every woman has the right to kill her children before they are born.


Right to Life recognises that Brooke van Velden sincerely wants to advocate for women and reminds her that justice for women starts at conception by recognising that every human embryo is a unique and unrepeatable miracle of God’s loving creation deserving of our respect and protection.
