It was on the Vigil of the Annunciation that New Zealand commenced practice of the most infamous piece of legislation in our history - arguably, recognised as it is as the most evil abortion law in the world, the most infamous piece of legislation in the history of the world. 

But because Prime Minister Ardern took advantage of the fear of COVID-19 which she herself had engendered, and smuggled it through Parliament while the populace was scared witless, in its country of origin the infamous Abortion Legislation Act is anything but famous. When told that babies can now be killed up to and during birth and left to die without pain relief, people go "What?"   

I doubt whether the chap who erected this sign at Te Hauke on SH2 in Hawke's Bay objected to the Abortion Legislation Act (for twenty years, he said, he voted Green) but he certainly objects to The Lockdown. He told me so when I knocked on his door in the dark a week or so ago, returning home from a 5.30 p m Sunday Mass at Sacred Heart Hastings. I'd seen the sign while driving north and wondered if he'd wear an anti-euthanasia 'DefendNZ' billboard.

No he wouldn't, he said. He also told me his sign wasn't original. His wife is Swiss and he heard that slogan shouted at a protest march in Zurich at the beginning of their lockdown. I said that for me it resonated with "an unjust law is no law at all", attributing the quote to 'Augustine', not mentioning the saintly honorific because I still had hopes of getting my sign up, this guy being clearly not of the same ilk as all the main road property-owners who'd already turned me down, citing rellies who'd worry about vandalism. Anyway we parted, I think, as friends for life.

Unjust, evil laws like lockdown and abortion are foisted on unwary electorates chiefly by deceit. Ardern and her cronies lied in their teeth about COVID-19, dressing up a flu bug as a lethal 'pandemic' in order to cow us into controls to which New Zealanders would never have consented without brainwashing and manipulation by this Government and its mainstream media lapdogs.

So in the interests of enlightening the electorate - the people who have no idea what our abortion law allows - let's compare it with US legislation and the revelations this week of newly unsealed videos of deposition testimonies by Planned Parenthood employees forced to confirm under oath what they had denied about abortion and fetal tissue harvesting. 

In the US it's against federal law to perform partial-birth abortions, and a felony to extract a living fetus from the womb only to be killed in the process of delivery. But in New Zealand now, that's perfectly fine. When New Zealand kills babies, it's anything goes. In the US, Planned Parenthood - in NZ thinly disguised as Family Planning, "proud to be" an accredited IPPF Member Association - skirts the abortion laws by signing statements that it's not their "intent" in order to obtain intact organs, and to sell those baby parts for profit.

In 2015, journalist and activist David Daleiden released videos of undercover conversations with PP officials and medical directors. PP and their media allies decried the undercover videos as “edited” and claimed their late-term abortion practices were in compliance with the law. As attorney general of California, current vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who received tens of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from Planned Parenthood, prosecuted Daleiden for exposing PP’s crimes. 

In 2017, Dr. Mary Gatter, a PP senior executive, notoriously said with a laugh, “I want a Lamborghini” while haggling over per-specimen pricing for livers, lungs, and brains, even while insisting the purchaser must do all the work to harvest." https://thewatchtowers.org/planned-parenthoods-organs-for-cash-exec-busted-again-trying-to-sell-baby-body-parts/

Newly unsealed videos of deposition testimonies show PP employees confirming under oath what they previously admitted to Daleiden, ultimately revealing more about the violent crimes of abortion industry titans Planned Parenthood and StemExpress. 

Planned Parenthood doctors use ultrasound to flip a fetus’s delivery position in order to obtain more intact organs.

In the newly unsealed video of her sworn testimony,  Dr Deborah Nucatola confirms that during abortions she would alter where she crushes a fetus with her forceps to keep certain organs intact. 

In an undercover video Nucatola, Planned Parenthood’s senior director of medical services, says: “I’d say a lot of people want liver ... We’ve been very good at getting heart, lung, liver . . . So I’m not gonna crush that part, I’m gonna basically crush below, I’m gonna crush above, and I’m gonna see if I can get it all intact.”

What Planned Parenthood is doing is likely to be entirely legal. Provided the women consented and only reasonable expenses are paid, there is more than likely nothing illegal about this violent, gruesome process.

Nor is there anything illegal about using those foetal tissues for commercial purposes or indeed for what one California biotech startup, Ganogen, is already doing. It transplants human foetal kidneys, livers, hearts and lungs into rats. It hopes to grow the organs to sizes suitable for human transplant.

They just, sometimes they fall out” of the abortion patient when the patient delivers the fetus entirely intact in the operating room, “once every couple months” ... they will “do a dissection to get the tissues that the researchers have requested. ...I can see hearts that are not in an intact P.O.C. [product of conception, fetus] that are beating independently” after removal.

Asked a second time about producing intact fetuses in late 2nd-trimester cases for organ harvesting, a PP doctor admits, “It happens sometimes, but it’s pretty rare.” She continues with a smile, “But, we try.”

David Daleiden asks, “How long will public authorities permit Planned Parenthood and their associates to sell living children inside and outside the womb and then kill them through organ harvesting? The DOJ (Department of Justice) has vigorously prosecuted the sale of eagle body parts. Surely selling human body parts after cutting them out of an infant with a beating heart is at least as grave of a crime.”

A secret-shopper phone call to Da Vinci Biosciences confirms that Planned Parenthood’s latest cases are being done without feticide (poison to kill the fetus). When a caller asks for fetal brain from 18 to 24 weeks gestation, a Da Vinci sales representative assures, “It is feticide-free, considering that we have such a large catalogue of fetal tissue, I believe that would be a requirement for us, in order to have so many fetal products available.”

Invoices show Da Vinci Biosciences charging $350 for fetal liver, $500 for fetal thymus, and $750 for fetal brain. The sale or purchase of human fetal tissue is a federal felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000 (42 U.S.C. 289g-2).

So now we know that in the US, where abortion law is much more restrictive than in New Zealand:

• beating fetal hearts used In research are harvested from living babies
• whole fetuses and attached baby heads are sold
• fetal hearts are supplied to Stanford University
• abortions performed by PP put women at risk by modification to  result in live births.
• video footage presented at a PP conference showed that the methods demonstrated would cause a “tumultuous labor” that would result in “fetal expulsion,” in which “the fetus comes out without any assistance from the abortion doctor, no instrumentation.”

 

An aborted baby, perhaps a victim of 'fetal expulsion'

 

So what's to stop the injustice of trafficking in baby body parts in New Zealand? Oh, it's illegal, you cry. But the injustice of murdering babies was legalised in this country in the mid-'70s, and we failed to resist it sufficiently. Think about the Ministry of 'Health', how under-funded it is, and about how utterly devoid of principle is this Labour Coalition Government. We didn't resist the unjust law of abortion, of killing babies. We sowed wind and are reaping a whirlwind; there is no standing stalk in it, the bud shall yield no meal; and if it should yield, strangers shall eat it (Hos 8:7).

The injustice of murdering babies was not resisted in Victoria, Australia, either. Victoria  passed the law on which ours was modelled - but Ardern and Little's law outdid Victoria's in wickedness. Take a gander at the state of things in Melbourne as of last Sunday:

Arresting an accredited journalist at an anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne, Sunday

And then, tragically,  there's the unjust law imposed by our Government on the Church, and not only obeyed but exceeded in wickedness in the Wellington Archdiocese, where in disobedience to the magisterium of the Church Communion on the tongue is now prohibited - and all Sunday Masses have been cancelled because according to Cardinal 'call me John' Dew it's "very difficult" to limit attendance to 100. Tell that to the Marines, is all I can say. 

Well, not quite all I can say, because I can say that at a Mass I attended in Wellington last Sunday the congregation was packed in like sardines. Were we counted as we entered? I don't think so. No names, no pack drill: but I can say also that at that Mass there were no masks and no fear. There was singing and holy water; there were candles, and flowers, and statues in abundance, a crystal-clear sermon on 'vocation' singular, that is to say each person's calling in life, and above all there was reverence. And Communion on the tongue. Only Communion on the tongue. 

Which is exactly as it should be.

The 1969 Instruction promulgated by the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship, Memoriale Domini states:

This method of distributing Holy Communion [on the tongue] must be retained, taking the present situation of the Church in the entire world into account, not merely because it is a practice rooted in many centuries of tradition, but especially because it expresses the reverence of the Christian faithful for the Eucharist.…this practice [receiving the Sacrament on the tongue], which must be considered traditional, ensures more effectively that Holy Communion is distributed with all due respect, decorum and dignity, so that the danger of profanation of the Eucharistic species is prevented…

 A change in a matter of such importance [i.e. allowing Communion in the hand], based on a most ancient and venerable tradition…can bring certain dangers, ... of arriving at a lessening of reverence for the august Sacrament of the altar, or of profanation of the Sacrament, or of adulterating true doctrine. 

The ... Holy Father has felt that the time-honored way of administering Holy Communion to the faithful [administering it on the tongue] should not be changed.

The Apostolic See therefore emphatically urges bishops, priests and faithful to submit diligently to the law [that Communion be given on the tongue] which is still valid and which has again been confirmed…

Memoriale Domini provides for the granting of an indult, or special permission allowing Communion in the hand, only in those places where the practice is considered necessary. To ensure that this so-called “necessity” exists, the Holy See will only consider granting the indult if the following conditions are met:

1. The practice of Communion in the hand must already be widespread. (It must be noted that in these places the indult has not yet been granted. Therefore, within these areas the practice is against liturgical law and therefore an abuse.)

Was New Zealand ever granted the indult?   

1. The local bishops’ conference must believe that the practice cannot be stopped without causing great harm. This must be verified by a secret ballot in which two-thirds of the bishops vote in favor of petitioning the Holy See to grant the indult.

Did the NZ Conference of Bishops ever petition the Holy See to grant the indult?  

1. The bishops’ conference must submit a request for the indult that outlines, in a detailed way, why the change is indispensable for their country.

We'd be so interested to know why the change to Communion in the hand was indispensable for New Zealand. Dear Bishops, please explain. 

After all this, it is at the discretion of the Holy See whether or not to grant the indult. Furthermore, in those nations where the indult is granted, the decision to allow Communion in the hand in a diocese rests still with the local bishop. 

So any one of our bishops could stop the practice of Communion in the hand. 

In 2009 during the H1N1 “Swine Flu” epidemic, bishops and priests were banning traditional Communion reception. This inspired an unknown person to ask the Congregation for Divine Worship if this were licit.

In response, the congregation wrote a letter stating:

"The Dicastery observes that the Instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum (25 March 2004) clearly stipulates that “each of the faithful always has the right to receive Holy Communion on the tongue”, nor is it licit to deny any of Christ’s faithful who are not impeded by law from receiving the Holy Eucharist."

 “Not to oppose error is to approve it, and not to defend the truth is to suppress it” – Pope St. Felix III.

Cardinal John Atcherley Dew and the NZ Conference of Bishops are illicitly denying Christ's faithful who are not impeded by law from receiving the Holy Eucharist.

This is a gross injustice which must be resisted, at the very least by refusing to receive Communion in the hand.
