	Canadian Physicians for Life - Letter to UWO re Morgentaler
		Up until now, people who celebrate Henry Morgentaler have been narrow ideologues of the abortion subculture, and so it is a surprise to see a university body, which could be expected to represent a broader constituency, so eager to identify its university with such extremism.
		Morgentaler is indeed an unusual man. Little over 20 years after narrowly escaping death at the hands of a system which operated by obtaining a tacit public agreement to ignore the humanity of its victims, Henry Morgentaler turned away from the practice of medicine to do abortions.
		Across our nation there are playgrounds empty of the voices Henry Morgentaler stilled forever, there are schools bereft of the striving of the young who were made into nothing by him, there are women injured not just in ways they can feel every day but in ways they have no way of knowing.

	20 Years after Morgentaler, January 2008
		When the Crown raided Morgentaler’s abortuary, a number of incriminating facts were discovered that were later presented as testimony in his trial: Morgentaler did not give the woman to be aborted any medical check up or blood test prior to the abortion and therefore was not sure that she was pregnant.
		Morgentaler failed to show up, sending as his replacement an obese, hectoring female doctor who lost the debate the moment she opened her mouth.
		Of course, Morgentaler was in jail in another era and, as far as I’m concerned, another country, a country as dead as any of the recipients of his attention.

		As such, if the university has deemed it appropriate to give Dr. Morgentaler an honourary degree, then it should stand behind its decision and let the chips fall where they may. After all, university education is all about learning how to learn, and discovering how to stand behind your convictions.
