Nice header, I was sure this was another rant from a pro-lifer.

A community's worth is measured by the way it treats the most vulnerable, and no one is more vulnerable than in the first nine months of life's journey.
I can think of many who are more vulnerable. The homeless that no one care about, for one. The street children. The unlawfully detained. If I beat to death a homeless orphan, and then beat up a woman so that she has a miscarriage, I think it's the latter I'll be most at risk of prosecution for.

Canada glories in the names of Banting and Best, and the other medical heroes who selflessly brought healing where there was disease and suffering. Now it honours with the Order of Canada a medical man who has brought not healing, but the destruction of the defenseless and immeasurable grief.
This one sounds incredibly misleading. Sure, I can imagine that if my hypothetical girlfriend was pregnant and we were looking forward to having a kid together, and then learned that the kid had to be aborted due to some severe birth defect or whatever, it wouldn't be a happy circumstance to be in. But to place the source of grief on the abortion, instead of the problem that necessitated it, seems wrong to me.

I earnestly appeal to all who are tempted to resort to an abortionist, or are pressured to do so by those around them. I urge you to contact organizations such as Birthright, and others who will support you and love you and your precious child.
Last time I checked, "abortionists" do care about "you and your precious child". There is no such thing as a drive-thru abortion; you have to have a talk with the doctors beforehand and be informed about alternatives and figure out if an abortion is the best choice for you. AFAIK.

Contact your parish. We are here for you.
Which often translates into "since abortion is murder, we'll tell you to have the kid no matter what, and then we'll leave you out in the cold without helping you."

For those who have had an abortion, and bear within your heart the fearful grief, I urge you to contact us, to find love and support in your
anguish, and in the Sacrament of Reconciliation, to find the gift of inner
peace.
Why on Earth would anyone go to pro-life people for comfort after having an abortion:confused:? That's like me having an allergic reaction to beef and then seeking help at the local vegan's meeting.

Morgentaler has been a bogeyman for the anti-abortion nuts for decades. They positively loathe the guy.
 
My mother was an RN (now retired) who was actively practicing in Canada during the years when all of the controversy was happening. She personally saw the botched abortions that were happening so Morgentaler is one of her heroes. He deserves this IMHO.
 
I find it interesting that this thread has attracted 4 posts. If a US politician once shook hands with an "abortionist" this would be reported on a 1001 blogs, hit the mainstream press and at least a quarter of the membership of this forum would be telling us he was not fit for office.

Somewhat :boggled: but only somewhat. :D

You can touch them? They're not radioactive?

On the plus side a man convicted of assault and of whom the BC Supreme Court has said "that there are serious public protection concerns and an immediate risk to the public" if he continued to practise, has returned his in protest.

Win/Win.
 
Yup. This will continue to rattle around the Canadian news media for at least another week. Maybe more if the "Canadian Family Coalition" actually manages to scape up enough money to hire a lawyer and try and "do something" in the courts. This may be very hard to do as the Awards are actually decided on by an independent committee, not the "Government" as I misstated in the OP.
