Over at Blue Like You, Joanne (having some time ago completed her "Journey"), is plenty miffed about Dr. Henry Morgantaler's challenge to abortion funding restrictions in New Brunswick. You see, in every province but New Brunswick, elective abortions are publicly funded procedures. Strange, since a full 70% of the 33 respondents to Joanne's recent Poll of Polls favour "some kind of abortion...

In a very duplicitous and infantile way, our Governor General and her advisory committee have seen fit to appoint Henry Morgantaler with the Order of Canada. Michaelle Jean promised he wouldn’t be on the list; she denied it until the end; and when people phoned her office to protest, her staff gave them the phone number of the Campaign Life Headquarters. Laughing at pro-lifers is not...

... and irrelevant Order of Canada in general.This was Whatcott’s chosen form of “protest” to Dr. Henry Morgantaler’s recent appointment to the Order of Canada, the ranks of which, according to Whatcott, are disproportionately filled with “leftist, pro-homosexual, pro-abortion, anti-authentic Christian, types.” Makes me relieved to say that I am not, nor will I EVER have anything to do...

You know, I wasn't going to comment on the Morgentaler thing, but screw it. All I will say is if Emmett Carter could be a member, why not Henry Morgantaler? This all just more bullshit from a government caucus full of bovine extruders.

I haven’t had too much good to say about Stéphane Dion of late (even to the point of some accusing me of “hating” him — which I don’t, by the way), but I was quite impressed with his statesman-like response to the controversial appointment of Henry Morgantaler to the Order of Canada the other day. The contrast with Stephen Harper’s reaction, as pointed out with stark clarity by the always...

... Canadian debate over abortion is about to explode again, as well-known abortion rights activist Henry Morgantaler is named a recipient of the Order of Canada. The Globe & Mail Homosexuality issues may be splitting the wider Church of England community, but the core, conservative church is heading towards a crisis over women bishops, with 1,300 clergy saying they will leave the church...
