Opposition Grows to Morgentaler's Appointment

I wrote about honouring evil a few days ago. Turns out that opposition is growing to the promotion of Dr. Death (aka Morgentaler) to the Order of Canada. One recipient of the award has already turned his medal in. "Father Lucien Larre, who was inducted into the nation's highest order in 1983 for his work with troubled youth, said in a news release yesterday that he felt "compelled in conscience to return my Order of Canada." A Nfld. MP has also spoken out against it. It turns out that the decision was not by consensus as is usually the case but was driven by a liberal Supreme Court judge. The sources said Chief Justice McLachlin drove the nomination, which was opposed by the two government members on the nine-member committee, Privy Council Clerk Kevin Lynch and deputy heritage minister Judith LaRocque. Finally, Kelly McParland of the National Post has a great article that takes on the arrogance of Morgentaler displayed in his press conference.

"I get the feeling Dr. Morgentaler has a selective respect for the
rights of others. The rights of women who agree with his views are paramount. The rights of unborn children are non-existent. The beliefs of women who disagree with him are to be dismissed; any religion which advocates against his views is to be disregarded; the qualms of those Canadians appalled at the carnage that has flowed from his work are to be ignored. I suspect -— and I'm just guessing -— that what's important to Dr. Morgentaler is his beliefs alone. Others' beliefs are inconsequential. Maybe this callousness is what lets him so easily take life away from so many. " for the rest of the article, click here
