Murderous NZ abortion clinic opens in secrecy to protect staff

An abortion clinic has opened under a shroud of secrecy designed to protect its medical staff.

The refusal of local doctors to perform abortions temporarily derailed plans to open the Invercargill clinic in July.

Women from the area had been forced to travel to Dunedin or Christchurch for terminations, but now, after months of protest, an abortion clinic has "quietly" opened at Invercargill's hospital, chief medical officer David Tulloch said.

To protect the workers' identities, the Southland District Health Board would not say whether the clinic's staff were from the area, or were travelling from other regions. Anti-abortion group Southlanders for Life is vowing to step up protests outside the clinic, and to "name-and-shame" medical staff.

Pro-lifers, who name Deputy Prime Minister Bill English as a supporter in their press releases, and religious leaders are also backing the pro-life movement, with Catholic bishop Colin Campbell recently rallying followers to stop the "culture of death" from spreading.

Dr Norman MacLean, a retired Invercargill obstetrician who heads up Southlanders for Life, said he wanted to stop "child abuse in the womb". In the war against abortion, he said, "we're on the winning side".

MacLean said women had become too liberal with abortions. "There may be some abortions that are necessary in very serious situations, but I don't like the idea of abortion on request. There's an unborn baby in the middle of this." He said that did not sit well with a conservative Invercargill community, which had its origins as a church colony.
