TORONTO, January 3, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The life of notorious Canadian abortionist Henry Morgentaler is championed in a new made-for-television movie, Choice: The Henry Morgentaler Story, produced by CTV. Morgentaler gained notoriety for defying Canadian law in 1967 by opening Canada’s first abortuary in Montreal.
The ctv.ca description of the movie highlights that the “January 2005 airdate coincides with the 17th anniversary of the Supreme Court of Canada decision to change the country’s abortion laws (Jan. 28/1988) and the 35th anniversary of Morgentaler’s decision to end his practice as a GP and to begin illegal committing abortions (1970).”
While visiting the movie set in Montreal, Morgentaler commented: “This is my legacy to Canada, and I’m flattered to have been approached about the film as a record of my achievements.”
Morgentaler’s physical legacy, along with Canada’s other abortion activists and allied pro-abortion politicians, has been the violent deaths of well over 2 million unborn Canadian pre-born children and the physical and psychological damage experienced by many of the mothers of those aborted children.
According to an Ipsos/Reid polled commissioned by the CTV to correspond with the announcement of the movie, 73 percent of Canadian women aged 18 to 35 had never heard of Morgentaler.
