Later this year the End of Life Choice Act will be reviewed by the NZ Government. Why is this happening? What will the review process look like? Who can make submissions?

The events surrounding the tragic death of Harjit Kaur during an abortion in Melbourne in January have baffled the NZ medical professional we spoke to, and raised some glaring media inconsistencies.

Whatever happens next, one thing is for certain, authoritarian laws won’t stop the caring voice of the pro-life movement from continuing to speak out against, and work for more human solutions than the violence of abortion.

The message from Seymour couldn’t be any clearer - the Act party is the pro-abortion party where pro-life free speech is not tolerated and must be punished with nothing less than removal from office.

The irony of an activist dedicated to denying the most important human right of all, now making up and claiming brand new things as human rights, is not lost on us.

Now that we have turned euthanasia and assisted suicide into legally allowable ‘treatment’ options, it’s hard to see how this particular form of euthanasia expansion can be prevented.

In this age of increased political polarisation, there seem to be endless ideologies, movements, debates, and moral issues that are leaving their impressions on modern culture. Amid these central topics, abortion and socialism are frequently recurring themes.

Despite mounting pressure to deal with rising crime, a spiralling cost of living problem, and a health system in major crisis, earlier this week, Jacinda Ardern’s Labour Government prioritised the launch of yet another abortion project - a brand new 0800 dial-an-abortion number and website which promotes the religious ritualisation of abortion.

Sadly, as is often the case with things such as these, a lot of people are clearly ignorant of the history and flaws in the original ruling, along with what the actual overturning of Roe means in real terms. This means that various actors have been free to propagate all sorts of lies and misinformation in this vacuum of ignorance with almost no resistance to challenge their dishonesty.

While there is still one more life to save, one more mind to change on the reality of abortion, one more mother to support, and one more opportunity to speak up for life, we will continue to strive for justice and the inalienable right to life.

Although this may be merely a ‘long game’ for abortion activists, it is a life-and-death struggle for us; and as we have been fighting for the sanctity of life for near 2000 years now, we are not ready to back down any time soon.

Listen to Voice For Life's National President, Kate Cormack speaking to Radio NZ about the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade in the US Supreme Court!

Imagine looking back and being able to confidently say that 2022 was the year in which we were the most passionately pro-life; that we made the most impact and prompted the most change in 2022; and that more people than ever before had their eyes opened to the realities of abortion.

The right to abortion it proclaimed lacked any basis in the text, logic, structure, or historical understanding of the Constitution. To say that it was poorly reasoned is an understatement. The truth is that it wasn’t reasoned at all. This left its defenders with an impossible task—defending the literally indefensible.
