Morrie the Toupee Salesman

Henry Morgentaler‘s Order of Canada seems to be serving as a litmus test of sorts. Basically every bozo and scumbag who ever got the Order of Canada is lining up to give it back. Self-selection at it’s finest. Once they’re done, the Order of Canada will be a more honorable place. Or at least they’ll have thinned the ranks of religious wackos and right-wing extremists.

“Morgentaler, 85, is a Polish-born Holocaust survivor who immigrated to Montreal after the war and opened an abortion clinic in 1969, where he performed thousands of what were then illegal abortion procedures.

A family physician, Morgentaler argued that access to abortion was a basic human right and that women should not have to risk death at the hands of an untrained professional in order to end their pregnancies.

Morgentaler’s clinics were often raided by police, and one in Toronto was firebombed.

Morgentaler was arrested several times and spent months in jail as he fought his case at all court levels in Canada.”

It’s clear that even if you don’t agree with abortion, that Morgentaler is a hero. And the people lining up to protest are the exact opposite.
