OTTAWA, July 7, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Since the news about Henry Morgentaler's nomination for the Order of Canada was made public, people who believe in the dignity and sanctity of human life have been outraged. Campaign Life Coalition (CLC), the political arm of the pro-life movement, has been overwhelmed with requests from supporters to take action. In response, CLC has organized a protest at the residence of the Governor General, Rideau Hall (1 Sussex Drive), Ottawa, which will take place on Wednesday July 9 from noon until 2:00 pm.
Countless organizations are speaking out against this honour being given to someone whose primary interest has been making a profit from the killing of children in their mothers' wombs. Morgentaler was arrested and jailed for his activities in Quebec and continued to flout the law in all the other provinces.
Campaign Life Coalition told LifeSiteNews.com that they have been informed that busloads of people from surrounding cities will be participating in the demonstration Wednesday.
Polls in newspapers across the country show that grassroots Canadians are opposed to Morgentaler receiving this award. "Rather than being a unifying and positive step it is creating division across the country," said CLC. "Even the NDP premier Gary Doer of the Province of Manitoba has publicly stated his opposition to this."
