I’m totally confused by the Harper’s defense, that the govt had no involvement whatsoever in deciding who’s gonna get it. WTH is going on here? Isn’t it called “Order of CANADA”??? This order is awarded by CANADA, not by some private citizens, so why does the govt, the organism that represents Canada, have no involvement???

We should most definitely not grant Henry Morgentaler the Order of Canada. Why do we allow people to kill a child while it is still within its mother and call it a therapeutic action, but call it murder once the child has been born?

As someone who lost a child to abortion, I can honestly attest to the fact that it truly is the taking of a life. I can’t decide that another person is doing things to impact the direction of my life, and kill them. Yet a woman can decide to abort a child, how is this right?

Rather than taking lives, we should be working to provide sufficient support to women who find themselves in the position of wondering whether or not to keep their baby.

While in Canada we pride ourselves on being an open and just society, by granting this honour to Mr. Morgentaler, we are betraying these core elements of the Canadian persona. Maybe next year the Governor General will nominate Paul Bernardo for the Order of Canada.

As a Canadian, a Jew, a parent, and a health practitioner, I am horrified that he is even being considered for the Order of Canada.

i must simply say Canada was attempting to become better, now it is a fallen nation. Now this is worse than any nazi camp, they did not even see the light of day.Remember this, in a book the beginning states “Before I fashioned thee in thy mother’s womb, I did know thee: And or ever thou wast born, I sanctified thee, and ordained thee, to be a Prophet unto the people.” I thank Jeremiah.

Awarding Dr. Morgentaler the Order of Canada is beyond reprehensible. What’s next? A series of commemmorative stamps, issued by Canada Post, honouring the achievements of Dr. Mengele!

I have also blogged on this subject and do not find him a worthy recipient. It is my opinion that arguments which appeal to choice, bodily rights, back-alley abortions, or privacy, do not match the power of the scientific reality that human life is contained within a pregnant mother’s womb. Drop by at my blog and we can discuss the matter if you like.

Also that is not the only reason why I was opposed to his nomination.

The fact that Henry Morgentaler survived a concentration camp reminded me of a Nietzsche aphorism:

“He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”

You have to be kidding me, this is beyond disgusting that he received that honor. I’m horrified that Canada rewards someone who is this divisive and offensive to so many Canadians! Who’s responsible for this? I don’t know how the Order of Canada works.
