Right to Life
New Zealand has over the last few years widened it's area of concern to
other important life issues such as Euthanasia, Physician Assisted Suicide,
Embryonic Stem Cell Research, Human Cloning, and and range of important
social issues, including Prositution and the sexualisation of our nation's
children.
What
Can I do?
Maybe you are someone who is concerned about abortion,
euthanasia and other life issues. Perhaps you have thought that as just one person there
is not a lot you can do. The task of trying to preserve a respect for
life, within a culture that
is rapidly moving in the opposite direction, seems to be a daunting one.
But is that a very good reason for not becoming involved? (It
needn't be in a big way.). The Pro-Life cause needs support.
If you would like to help, here are some ways that you
might like to contribute.
-
Ring or write to your local MP.
Lobbying can have a powerful impact, as these are the people who vote
for or oppose legislative change. If your MP knows your views on
pro-life issues, they are more likely to consider them. Writing is
probably the most effective way for your views to make an impact but
also consider emailing (see below)
You can call MPs and leave messages at their offices to tell them your
views, the main number at Parliament is (04) 471 9999 or look in your
phone book for your local MP's number.
Writing is also effective and it is FREEPOST to write to any MP C/-
Parliament Buildings, Wellington.
The following link will take you to a web site that gives
you the contact telephone numbers and email addresses of all NZ MP's. Why not take 5 or 10 minutes to
'pen' a message?

can help. If you have any comments or you think you may be able to help
please contact us.
