About 500 health care professionals have received the Order of Canada, the recent media coverage about Catholics upset with Dr. Henry Morgantaler has brought this civilian order to public attention. As one blogger noted, how many of the 500 performed or agree with legal abortion?

Not to mention all the politicos of the center-left who are supportive of abortion. Former PM Kim Campbell got a top-level nod this year, and if I recall, she was a moderate Conservative who was “pro-choice.”

However, Morgantaler is the bogey man of the Canadian pro-lifers and is going to draw the proper hisses from the right. He personifies abortion up north like Jack Kevorkian personifies assisted suicide south of the border.
