An absence of honest belief renders the abortion unlawful . Should Parliament permit a regime of abortion on demand with pseudo legal abortions to continue we would anticipate a further 50,000 abortions in the next three years during the next term of office of the committee. This is an horrific loss of life that is greatly in excess of the 30,000 dead New Zealand suffered in two world wars. Our abortion law should not only protect our unborn children but also protect their mothers from being exploited and abandoned. Abortion is frequently the choice of men as it allows them to escape responsibility for the children they have fathered.
Parliament is the defender of human rights, the protector of the weak and defenceless.
We earnestly urge you to exercise your conscience vote to reassert the supremacy of Parliament and the rule of law by appointing a new committee that is pledged to ensure that unborn children receive the full protection of the law. Yours sincerely, Ken Orr For Executive. The Committee is appointed by Parliament to ensure that the administration of the abortion laws upholds the rights of unborn children to life. It is not. The Crimes Act rightly recognises that abortion is a crime against a person and a human rights issue, which is in accordance with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of the Child.
