OTTAWA, February 11, 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.

Abortion is murder and they want an award? The gall.
If Hitler was still alive they’d be giving him an award too .....
You get an Order of Canada for killing thousands of Canadians?
Seems that way.
Words fail me!
Words fail me!
I’m speechless.
It’s blasphemy that this guy hasn’t gotten an award for murdering thousands of his own unborn, defenseless citizens??? Canada’s going to hell along with the US. And Europe. And the Middle East and Asia and....
If he were a soldier and had killed scores of terrorist murderers he would be treated as a pariah. Since he killed thousands of the most innocent, helpless and defenseless, then he should get a award.
Some of these creatures, like Morgentaler, STARTED out on the other side. They don’t get forgiveness.
My God, what the hell happened to this guy.

Not to worry: what is an “Order of Canada” anyway? It’s not the Victoria Cross, after all.
If Canada is silly enough to give it to this great unhanged villain, they will only cheapen the bauble to the point of risibility.
“No Canadian Government would be silly enough to give their top honor to someone who champions such a divisive and polarizing issue as pro-abortion...” (Famous Last Words...)
They already give out those things like candy anyway, whatever actual credibility it might have had was washed out years ago.
Woe unto those that call good evil, and evil good.
OK, but what the hell do I know.

Anyone who thinks what this article suggests has to be at least tied with Kevorkian for ghoulishness. The venue is irrelevant. Something tells me your average hangman doesn't worship death. These people worship death.
It's the end of the world as we know it...I feel fine.
