Press Release, July 2, 2008

Morgentaler’s appointment to the Order of Canada is a national disgrace. As Professor Douglas Farrow was quoted in the National Post on Canada day, “Morgentaler’s Canada is not my Canada”.  We agree.  The event was preceded three years ago when the abortionist was offered an honourary degree from the University of Western Ontario.  In the latter case, the main enabler was the President of the University, Paul Davenport.  In the July 1 appointment the main enabler was the ‘Order of Canada’s Advisory Council’s chairwoman, the Supreme Court’s Chief Justice, Beverley MacLachlin. 

Toronto’s Archbishop, Thomas Collins, expressed our disgust accurately when in an email to all the parish priests of his 225 congregations he stated: Canada’s highest honour has been debased…We are all diminished” (July 1, 2008).

Since 1969, Canada has lost 3.5 million of its newly conceived citizens through surgical abortion.  Morgentaler and his medical henchmen in his abortuaries are responsible for over 400,000 of them.1  He, his associates, and all his fellow travellers in hospitals throughout the country, are professional killers.  Instead of healing – as their profession requires – they extinguish life, human life.  What makes them do it?  The answer: atheism.

Morgentaler grew up in an atheist household in Poland.  His father belonged to the Jewish Bund, a Marxists group that looked to the new Soviet Union as the paradise of the future, despising the war-torn “bourgeois” governments of their day as corrupt.  According to Scientific Socialism, the latter were inevitably doomed to extinction anyway while the socialist, now called Communist, world order would unite the workers of the earth in a new order of equality, self-sufficiency, and happiness.

It did not work out that way, of course.  Meanwhile, at the close of World War II, the Nazis sent Morgentaler, together with fellow Jews, to the concentration camp in Auschwitz.  After six weeks there, he crossed Germany in cattle cars in a train to Dachau, a camp near Munich, Bavaria, where four months later they were liberated by the allied forces.  Via refugee camps, Morgentaler arrived in Canada where he studied for a medical career. 

Morgentaler carries his Holocaust victimhood as a personal decoration, the better to deceive his revolutionary contempt for bourgeois Canada.  This rejection of God, the Judaic religion, and especially Catholic Christianity, have marked his life till this day.  Rejection of God leads to rejection of natural law, replacing it with arbitrary man-made rules which favour the strong and assault the weak. Ultimately, it leads to contempt for men and the dignity of the human individual, as it did in the Socialist paradises of Joseph Stalin and Mao Tse Tung. 

Canada’s hour of reckoning came when Morgentaler’s “friend”, Pierre Trudeau, first promoted and then moved Parliament to authorize the killing of the unborn into law in May 1969 haughtily trampling on God’s commandment “Thou shall not kill”.  Morgentaler and the Globe and Mail were jubilant.  The Globe entitled its editorial: “It was a great day” (May 15, 1969) and enthused that “it was the spirit of the bill that was important.  It stepped boldly into a great many areas where legislators had never dared to step before.  This is an essential spirit in our rapidly changing world…
