Family First says that according to official government data, every month on average an unborn child is surviving an attempted abortion but is not being given life-sustaining treatment.
These shocking numbers may be well underestimated because some districts couldn’t or wouldn’t provide the data.
According to Official Information Act requests to Health New Zealand, it reveals that since the beginning of 2020, approximately 80 attempted abortions have resulted in a child being born alive but not given life-sustaining care. Gestation periods range from 20 – 30 weeks.
Disturbingly, Te Tai Tokerau district said that life-sustaining care is considered only for “wanted babies at 22 weeks + 5 days”. At Waikato, there is “parental discretion to opt in or opt out of resuscitation”. Canterbury have previously advised that the “baby is wrapped in a blanket and held until it passes”.
Some larger districts including Waitemata, Counties Manukau, Bay of Plenty, Waikato and Capital Coast & Hutt Valley refused to provide the data.
“We are not surprised by this data – but it is still truly shocking. Whether the unborn child is 15, 20, 30 or 40 weeks in the womb, it will naturally be fighting for its life. That is our human instinct. We should be protecting the lives of innocent babies who survive attempted abortions. We should be making abundantly clear that this is an obligation on medical professionals,” says Bob McCoskrie, CEO of Family First NZ.
This shocking data comes at the same time as recent studies reveal that active treatment and survival rates for babies born at 22 weeks and 23 weeks are increasing. Between 2014 and 2023, survival among 22-weekers who received active treatment rose from 25.7% to 41%. Rates of survival rose from 7.4% to 32% for babies born at 22 weeks who did not receive active treatment.
A 2025 study published by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) has revealed that both active medical treatment and the survival rate of babies born as early as 22 weeks are increasing.
In 2020, an amendment to the Abortion Legislation Bill (requiring the care of a child born after an attempted abortion) was only supported by 37 MPs (less than a third). The amendment clarified that a qualified health practitioner who performed an abortion that results in the birth of a child after an attempted abortion has a duty to provide the child with appropriate medical care and treatment, no different than the duty owed to provide medical care and treatment to any other child born.
“The vote against such a provision was actually just confirmation of how extreme and radical Jacinda Ardern’s abortion law was – and the agenda of its supporters.”.
At the time of the debate in Parliament, then-Minister of Health & Labour MP Andrew Little said “I would like to see the science about a child being born after an abortion.”
“Here is the evidence. This is not about politics – this is about having a heart,” says Mr McCoskrie.
Based on this disturbing evidence, Family First is calling on the Government to immediately introduce and pass legislation which requires life-sustaining care of any child born alive after an attempted abortion.
Family First is also questioning why this data is being withheld from some districts, and is calling on the Ministry of Health to keep more accurate and transparent information about these occurrences.
Wow, if we cant get this fundamental sorted and stop the murdering, all the race, politics, war & religion discussions/viewpoints are worthless.
Andrew Little is a POS.
Barbaric, but we have come to accept this behaviour from kind, caring liberal communists.
And so I asked God; “Where are the people you said you would send to help us solve all of our problems?”
God replied; “You aborted them!”
The animal cruelty laws have better codified enforcement than do any law or codes that protects a defenceless child…OH!
I forgot- there are no laws that protect children in the womb, or minutes out of the womb, as I have been told “It’s your perception of things.” by interfering (anti-) Social(ist) Workers.

Note the comments of Russian President Putin at the 3:57 mark…
Why doesn’t the government apply the UN convention against torture which has been there for a few decades
Government(s) pick and choose the UN Convention items which suits their WEF / WHO / NWO / JWO agendas.
Case in point; the Right to Self Defence, the Right to Water (NO charges levied on anyone) and the Rights of the Child!
They could care less about the children, as noted with this current government’s attitude of a child being aborted, or those living receiving 1 meal a day, no shoes or winter clothes, and parents who cannot provide for their children due to the piss-poor non-liveable wage labour market IF they can find a job at all!
This Luxon Government even removes benefits from Autistic homeowners…!
This Luxon Government mimicks the U.S.’s EBT / SNAP program suspension at the same time when it stopped ACC benefits to chronically-ill and permanently disabled people.
The Gold Card application ask too many privacy-invading and intrusive questions! If you’re 65 years of age as noted on your Birth Certificate, NZ Passport, or NZ Drivers Licence, then you should receive AUTOMATICALLY your Gold Card!
Another case in point: Community Services Card s should be issued on a permanent basis for those who are permanently disabled and / or have conditions that will be with them for the rest of their lives ie those on the AUTISM SPECTRUM!
MSD is there to DENY, DENY, UNTIL YOU FUCKING DIE!!!!
Be a part of changing this genocidal holocaust and deliberate disenfranchisement & blacklisting / social credit by stopping the same when we all VOTE FOR THE NEW ZEALAND LOYAL PARTY IN 2026!
Very moving information. What doctor could possibly expedite this process? One who had forgotten the Hippocratic Oath?
‘Do no harm’ etc etc
arden… say no more.
Barbaric, sickening. The medical “profession” is full if sick *****.
It’s a literal satanic death cult, designed to monetise the pain and suffering of other human beings.
Plus, they sell the aborted body parts, and fund their next Ferarri or Lambourghini with the proceeds!

They do evil continually!! This is why the Ukraine is important to the Zionists processing body parts at that location!

Another reason Charlie Kirk was murdered; exposing the Zionist blood sacrifices, abortions and profiteering.

This is utterly repugnant and shows how far we are, from being a caring democratic society, that values human life. Mind you just look at what the trash in Labour did during the scamdemic, cheered on by National and ACT.
What a disgusting bloody practice!!
Doing the math those babies are how many months old 4 & 5 months wtf. What is the excuse not to have an abortion until the foetus is fully formed this should be illegal.. Its even more disgusting they let them die not that they should be aborted in the first place.. Is it any wonder muslims are disgusted at the west
All done by ” respected” doctors.
They kill babies, but also grown ups so called ” medical errors” through wrong medication given on purpose.
So called covid vax ( millions are still going to die. Organs transplants also a juicy business etc. Money and personal gain as incentive
A criminal corporation like the clergy used to be. The one brought fear of hell, the other fear of death
It is disgusting that this happens. The law did not need to change.
I pity the poor nurse/midwife that has to smother that child in Canterbury.
Truly disgusting that any govt. anywhere would allow this.
Vile, evil and truly barbaric, absolutely disgusting how as a society we allow this to happen, shows how far we have fallen. Babies torn limb from limb, no problem lets go save a whale.
