Sure Fred. It’s about choice… a choice to kill your baby if you want.

To simplify this issue and categorize it as ‘choice’ is completely wrong and foolish. Very bright left leaning politicians who wanted the female vote (previously a small percentage of women actually voted in elections) pushed this issue – both in Canada & the US.

These politicians benefited as did your buddy Morgentaler who became very rich from aborting babies.

Thanks God the Catholic Church cares
enough to criticize this choice by the Gov General while other religions care more about what kind of bread they eat or if their meat is the ‘right’ meat.

PRO-LIFE means pro-life for the WOMAN

as well as the unborn CHILD. That is

what Dr. Morgentaler advocates. Take your neanderthal anti-abortion rhetoric and post it

with the rest of the ubiquitous anti-abortion arseholes.

Anon: Thanks for posting that. You show how the pro-death – err I mean pro-choice nutbars are so effed up.

So, Argie - I'm thinking you're probably a male and completely unable to carry a baby, let alone deliver and care for one.

What about the unborn child's life? Should that child be raised in squalor, crack houses, resented, or, maybe it should be raised for the first (probably most) of it's life in the "adoption system", where it will reamin for the first few years, if not forever because of paperwork? Huh?

Are you personally willing to financially, emotionally and physically look after these children? How about looking after the mother? She'll need help dealing with being pregnant, and giving up her child.

Dr. Morgentaler has provided the women of Canada with a choice - in lieu of any other stable and reasonable choice.

Anon, you’re right I’m a man. Putting aside your obvious anti-male stance there are other choices for pregnant women who make the mistake of having unprotected sex. Good parents are traveling around the globe and spending thousands to adopt a baby. Putting your unwanted child up for adoption is more desired choice over killing it. Huh Anon???

As for taxpayers’ dollars we spend millions accommodating women with this elective surgery. Its OK, cancer patients can wait months for a follow up checkup so that we can help women kill their babies.

Perhaps Paul Bernardo is next in line to get this worthless order of Canada.

Thankyou anonymous.....I was going to say the same thing........

I made my decision at 30 to have an abortion and ironic at one of morgantaler's clinics........and for the reason that my ex husband had just left us for a 21 year old with no responsibilties, I made the decision to not let this child grow up in a broken home.......as well as now I am supporting three children. I work full time with no help from the government however if I had not done what I had done then I would be sitting on assistant and depending on the hard working tax payers to pay my way.
I have had a couple of friends who made this decision and one of them was for the wrong reason. She did it for birth control........I do not agree with that but when it comes to either my situation or my other friend who did it for personal reasons then yes I have to agree.
I have a right to say yes to sex but I have a right to say no to a baby even if percautions were taken and did not work.
Being pro-choice is not a sin nor is it a bad thing. I go to church read my bible and pray to god however, I do have a right while on this earth to live the way that I choose is right for myself and my family. And people who are pro-life need to step into the shoes of those who are having an abortion for the right reasons.
Give Dr. Morgentaler an award as he has done great things for women, even if all of the women he helped did not do it for good reasons.....so what. We celebrate worse things in this world and celebrate others accomplishments even if they are not deserving............

Morgantler gets the OC?! What a load of BULLROAR!

Any society/country that 'celebrates' a "doctor" of death should hang its head in shame. As far as Morgantaler is concerned... the Hippocratic Oath (Do NO HARM to the patient), is simply the HIPPOCRITIC Oath. Morgantaler is right up there with Josef Mengele.

As if we needed any further proof the Order of Canada is now a sick joke.

Keep Morgantaler's holocaust up; and this country won't have any future population to abort!

Woe Canada... who stands on guard for thee...? (Including the unborn).

Stacy, while I am sorry you had to make the very difficult decision to abort your baby, I am glad that, because of people like Dr. Morgentaler, you were able to have it at a clean and safe facility, performed by a competent physician. And no one should criticize the choices made by others, no matter what they are, until you have walked a mile in their shoes. How wonderful for those of you that are "pro-life" that you have led such rich and easy lives that you have never been faced with a horrible dilemma that no matter what you choose, you will feel like it was a lose/lose situation. I hope you all have to deal with a crisis someday so that you will learn some empathy. Sanctimonious assholes.

Anon: You sure assume a lot don’t you. You assume anyone who is pro-life has never had to deal with tragedy or face a difficult decision.

Somehow I’m not surprised by your attitude. If I had killed my child I would be consumed with guilt and bitterness too.

Thank you for proving my point Argie. And you did it so well, too.

The pregnancy is unwanted.

The baby that would emerge if it had been allowed to be born, is not. A couple could easily be found to adopt it.

My hope is that medical science will evolve to the point where we can sustain the life of an embryo from two months after its conception, if not earlier.

I just need to say that if I had continued my pregnancy there is no way that I would have been able to give this child up for adoption. I have gone through with two other pregnancies and the bond that I felt to these two children was incredible.

Making the decision to abort my "child" was not an easy decision but I do not see it as murder nor do I see it as a decision that I will think about every day of my life and live in guilt or ill feelings.

Argie, I am sure that you are a fantastic catholic person who can do no worng in their life. Even though you may have difficult things that come your way and decisions that you would rather not make I seem to think that you can get by just by your faith. You thoughts on some subjects that I have seen you comment on are very outrages. I do not see how you can live with yourself by saying that people like me who has "murdered their child" should live with guilt and bitterness. You have never stepped youself into my shoes nor in the shoes in any woman's life that has had to make that decision.

On further thought I believe your decision to abort is more a reflection on our society rather than on you personally.

You don’t seem like an evil person who did this out of malice. You were in a desperate situation and you’re right I don’t know what you were going through. I still believe if women who are faced with this dilemma, with the guidance of professionals and/or spiritual help can make a decision that will not result in the abortion of a baby.

I wasn’t trying to offend you – in fact you come across as honest and sincere. When ‘anon’ refers to someone who is pro-life as a ‘Sanctimonious assholes’ I get offended.
