On January 28 1988, the Supreme Court of Canada struck down Canada's already permissive abortion law to create the current situation of lawlessness on abortion. However, the Supreme Court also said that it was up to Parliament to produce legislation to protect new human life.
In 1969 the Liberal Government's Omnibus Bill opened the door to abortion on demand. Since that date more than two and half million babies have been deliberately killed in their mothers' womb.
"As a young person who has was not even born in 1969 and one who is passionately opposed to the killing of unborn children, I feel I can speak about this particular anniversary," said Gillian Long, on behalf of Campaign Life Coalition. "The early feminists who pushed for so-called 'freedom of choice' over their own bodies are not relevant to today's youth. We reject the old rhetoric and we understand that human life begins at the time of conception (fertilization)", she continued. "The child in the womb is not a blob of tissue or a collection of cells as stated in 1969. The scientific facts speak for themselves and we speak for the defenseless child," she added.
Meanwhile Canada's most notorious abortionist Henry Morgentaler celebrated the 1988 decision which is referred to as the Morgentaler decision. At a press conference at his Toronto abortuary, Morgentaler introduced Winnipeg abortionist Suzanne Newman to make a pitch for more public funding for Morgentaler's abortuary in that city.
