OTTAWA, February 12, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - "It's blasphemy" that Dr. Henry Morgentaler, the man whose name has become synonymous with abortion in Canada, has not been awarded the Order of Canada for his decades of aborting babies and helping to create Canada's current state of lawlessness on abortion. Or so said Cathie Colombo, quoted by the Globe and Mail, which is reporting that a group of abortion supporters are attempting to force the nomination of Dr. Morgentaler in a "last ditch effort".
Cathie Colombo, Dr. Morgentaler's assistant, was joined in her condemnation of her boss's "omission" from the Order of Canada by Clayton Ruby, a prominent constitutional and civil rights lawyer, who said, "There are a lot of deserving people who don't have an Order of Canada. But among them Henry stands out as a giant. It's a monumental absence."
Normally, the process for deciding who gets an Order of Canada is kept quiet, with various organizations and individuals sending nominations to the committee privately. But the fact that Morgentaler, who has admitted to having killed thousands of unborn children with his own hands, has been overlooked, has offended his supporters. Carolyn Egan of the Ontario Coalition of Abortion Clinics told the Globe and Mail, "Going the prim and proper route doesn't seem to have worked, so we need to change tactics."
The Order of Canada was founded in 1967 to "recognize a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation."
The 1988 case of Morgentaler et al. v. Her Majesty The Queen ended all statutory restrictions on abortion in Canada. The court said in the ruling that Parliament must draft legislation that would govern abortion, but in the decades since, no government has done so. Since the case, nearly two million babies have been killed by abortion in Canada.
According to research by the paper Le Droit in 2002, Morgentaler has grossed an estimated $11 million a year from his private, for-profit abortion facilities across the country.
