Joanne Byfield, president of Life Canada, said many people will be offended and appalled if Dr. Morgentaler is honoured.
From: Outrage brews as Ottawa set to honour Morgentaler
Well jeez, many people will also be offended and appalled if they have to deal with abortions performed by shady types at midnight at the local laundromat. So I guess we’re at a bit of a stalemate here eh?
This is a sad story to read on Canada Day.
Comments are closed on the G & M article (oh I wonder why?). So register your feelings here or send a letter to the G & M editors. I am especially troubled that the piece ended with a quote from a pro-life group, and nothing from someone who supports the award. Judy Rebick is great, but she’s buried in the middle of the article.

I really hope that the powers that be don't buckle under pressure. He deserves this. Canada deserves this on our record. xo
