Magic Statistics

I don't think I have ever been so disgusted, so utterly revolted, by my country's "leaders".  Today is a dark day in Canadian history.

Abortionist Dr. Henry Morgentaler was named a member of the order of Canada Tuesday, an appointment that has reignited the abortion debate that raged across this country in the 1970s and 1980s.

Roman Catholic Archbishop of Toronto Thomas Collins has issued an appropriate statement.

Canada's highest honour has been debased. Henry Morgentaler has been awarded the Order of Canada. We are all diminished.

A community's worth is measured by the way it treats the most vulnerable, and no one is more vulnerable than in the first nine months of life's journey.  No person may presume to judge the soul of Henry Morgentaler, but it cannot be denied that the effect of his life's work has been a deadly assault upon the most helpless amongst us.

Canada glories in the names of Banting and Best, and the other medical heroes who selflessly brought healing where there was disease and suffering. Now it honours with the Order of Canada a medical man who has brought not healing, but the destruction of the defenseless and immeasurable grief. This award must not stand.

Amen, and amen!  Click here for contact information of key government officials respectfully to express your opinion.

Happy Canada Day, everyone.  The Globe and Mail is reporting that the Order of Canada is about to be bestowed on a mass murderer.

The divisive debate about abortion rights in Canada is poised to erupt once again as Henry Morgentaler, the country's best-known abortion-rights crusader, is expected to be named to the Order of Canada.

The official announcement was supposed to have been made yesterday, but has been delayed for unknown reasons.  (One hopes the delay is because the awards committee is coming to its senses.)

If the award goes ahead, millions of Canadians will have less reason to love our country.

Douglas Farrow has it exactly right: “Henry Morgentaler’s Canada is not my Canada”.

How will the people of Canada respond, those who cannot in good conscience bear the burden of being told that abortion is a “Canadian value”?
 
I can tell you that I myself am pondering this last question very seriously. Henry Morgentaler’s Canada is not my Canada.  I’m with the late Louis-Philippe de Grandpré, sometime justice of the Supreme Court of Canada: “Abortion at any stage of pregnancy is murder, and any attack against the fetus is a crime. To kill a fetus is murder.”

Giving the OC to an abortionist implies that the powers that be in this country regard abortion as something to be celebrated.  But God says, “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil”.
