From Auschwitz to Abortion: The Tragedy of Henry Morgentaler It has long haunted me how Henry Morgentaler, sometimes referred to as Canada’s “father of abortion,” survived Nazi concentration camps only to go on to perpetrate similar horrors against the smallest and most vulnerable members of the human family: preborn children. How did a Jewish Holocaust survivor from Poland—someone who endured the worst of man’s inhumanity to man at the infamous Nazi camps of Auschwitz-Birkenau and later Dachau—go on to dehumanize and destroy tens of thousands of preborn human beings, robbing them of their most fundamental right: the right to life?...

In March 1983, OB-GYN and former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson sat down with Canada’s notorious abortionist Henry Morgentaler who helped overturn Canada’s abortion law, to discuss complex issues surrounding abortion on CHCH’s television program “Cherington”. In a clip of the show posted below, Morgentaler who died recently shatters the pro-“choice” perception that women do not regret their abortions. Morgentaler tells Nathanson, “I’ll make a confession to you, when I was a medical student in Montreal, I had one girl already which was two years old, and my wife got pregnant while I was a medical student, a poor medical student,...

CALGARY, AB, July 7, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - For the last four days, the Canadian Centre for Bio-Ethical Reform (CCBR) cruised Calgary streets, with an 11-meter-long box-bodied truck displaying bloody photos of aborted human beings.    Stephanie Gray, executive director of CCBR said this initiative is particularly important given the recent decision to award abortionist Dr. Henry Morgentaler the Order of Canada. In the wake of this controversial news, CCBR, known for its public display of graphic abortion images, has brought out its "Reproductive 'Choice' Campaign.""Since Canada has chosen to bestow its highest civilian honour to an abortionist, we thought it...

What I expect to see in Dr. Henry Morgentaler's Toronto clinic is a small, homely sort of place like a physiotherapy office in a bad neighbourhood, where the receptionist is still typing on a Selectric and the clientele is a gaggle of depressed patients with bad backs fighting for the one chair with the Obus Forme. I expect grey-faced people with angry signs waving little troll dolls at teenaged patients outside. My expectations are all wrong. There are no demonstrators outside, thanks to an injunction and a well-chosen location. The clinic is spacious and its rooms designed in a ring,...
