Ostracize Morgentaler and the Order of Canada
July 2, 2008 · By Charles Anthony
I am not a recipient of the Order of Canada but I would toss mine out if I was. [Since the government technically owns the medal, I would have to give it back -- maybe showing up at this year's ceremony and throwing it at the feet of the Governor General would suffice.] I would certainly reject it if it was being conferred to me alongside Dr. Morgentaler this year. Does Dr. Morgentaler cheapen the award? No, he just clarifies the inherent cheapness of the award. [I mean, give me a break, Kim Campbell? Nice gal and all but really. Come to think of it, maybe that is all I need to say!] I do not think it is such a prestigious award at all.
I think abortion is abhorrent just as other people may think it is the salvation of mankind. I have every right to disassociate myself with anybody I want. That really is the only peaceful power I have in our current state of affairs. I say: “Bravo!” to these guys.
What does the citation read?
“… in recognition for single handedly killing more Canadian children than any disease or Nazi machine gun could.”
But then, Madame Benoit has one for the fig-o-seal food saver.
The honour has already lost significant credibility, just check the list and read the citations. Its goofy.

Of course you think abortion is wrong…you refer to how it effects Mankind..not even in arguing against can you understand a female perspective for one moment. For the record “man” should have no say on what happens to a womyns body.
For the record, Dr. Morgentaler is a man.
If you do not want men to say anything about what happens to a woman’s body, you are demanding that men mislead or ignore women. However, clearly, that is not what you are demanding. You are saying one thing and expecting something else.
You only want the men who agree with you to speak.
No, Charles – a “womyn’s” body.
Renee, you are a walking cliche. Honestly, I thought your post was satire, until I clicked through to your blog.
I think he deserves the honour. Whether or not you support a woman’s right to choose, it has to be acknowledged that he has had an extraordinary impact on public policy; a positive impact in my view.

I am demanding that men stop believing that they have a right to control of womyns bodies. What Dr.Mortengaltaler did was allow women to have a choice.
Renee,
Nowhere in this post did I or anybody else suggest that men should control women. I have just said that people should have the right to disassociate themselves from people who do abhorrent things.
If you want to talk about controlling people, in Canada, every single tax-payer has to pay for abortions whether they like it or not. That makes women controlling men.

Yeah but you’re not a sexist right? If yous suggest that men should have a say in abortion your are supporting the subordination of women.
If you suggest that people should be denied the choice to express their opinions on abortion, you are supporting the subordination of everyone.
Oh you can complain about it all you want, but you should not have the power to stop it.
How can Canada criticize and condemn Mugabe and Al Qaeda and then honor a savage freak who has caused the slaughter of millions of innocent babies?. Think of all the truly wonderful people who died in the holocaust, and somehow Canada ended up with a baby slaughtering terrorists.
All Canadians must make it unambiguous to our affirmative action, extreme left-wing bimble who lives in the Governor General’s mansion, and the other affirmative action, far-left bimble on the Supreme Court that they can not unilaterally affect the values of civilized Canadians who don’t revere murderers who butcher blameless living babies.
Renee is anti-choice:
But you should have the divine power to force all Canadians to pay for abortions without giving them the choice to opt out.
[...] New Brunswick, Gilbert Finn so long? They returned their order of Canada medals this past week. My congratulations still go out to them and I am sure others would be pleased to hear it but I am curious to [...]
