Letter to the Editor for Thursday, July 3, 2008
RE: Morgentaler Awarded Order of Canada
Dear Editor,
So the Queen's representative will confer the country's highest honor - the Order of Canada - on an arch-abortionist.
There's no one more dishonorable in all Canadian history than someone responsible for the death of tens of thousands of our country's children, including over 6,000 in New Brunswick. Compared to him, Paul Bernardo is a saint.
What kind of value statement this is for young people: Kill one or two, they throw you in jail; kill thousands, you're a national hero!
Don't get me wrong: I don't hate the man. As a Christian I'm called to love my enemies. But I recognize a purveyor of death and destroyer of motherhood when I see one.
Has the Governor-General lost her marbles? Has the country's top judge - who headed the committee that proposed this name - flipped out? Meanwhile, the Prime Minister sidesteps the issue as smoothly as Fred Astaire.
With leaders like this, heaven help us - and I mean it. It's time for the silent majority to break their silence, to show "we stand on guard for thee." Hold these people accountable. Contact them. Call upon our premier and lieutenant-governor to intervene before the induction ceremony takes place.
And as Canada sits poised to trash the notion that life is sacred, let us hear from religious leaders.
If this man is honored, we are all dishonored.
Peter Ryan
