Abortions rationed in Canada
The utterly subjugated Canadian pro-life contingent is breaking through the silence barrier (what we’d see in the US without 1st Amendment rights) to protest its Parliament’s July 1 announcement to present abortionist relic Henry Morgentaler Canada’s highest public award, the Order of Canada.
Liberals and the media are rallying around their hero. That’s the backstory to this sad tidbit in a Canada.com pro-Morgentaler puff piece today – a vision of abortions to come if the US ever nationalizes health care:
Until last February, an abortion cost $350 at the Montreal Morgentaler clinic, and the clinic did more than 2,000 a year, or 10 to 15 a day. But things changed in February, after the Quebec government finally agreed to cover the cost of fees in private abortion clinics.
It had always covered the doctor’s fee, but it drew the line there. Now, Quebec is one of seven provinces in Canada where the full cost of abortions in public hospitals, as well as private facilities, is covered.
“Now that abortions in private clinics are free, a lot of women who couldn’t afford the $350 before are now calling us,” [clinic manager France] Desilets said. “Calls have quadrupled since February.”…
To keep a lid on demand, the government has imposed quotas on the Morgentaler clinic, as well as four other private clinics on the Island of Montreal.
The result of rising demand and quotas has been an increase in waiting times for an abortion at the Morgentaler clinic: Women had to wait one to three days before February; now, the wait can reach three weeks.
You’d think Desilets would be happy – abortions are free in Canada! – but she’s not. The aforementioned Morgentaler award has prompted a “contentious” pro-life outpouring of baby Jesus pictures:
But the wreaths and pictures of the baby Jesus have reminded the clinic’s staff of 20, including four female doctors, that they are working on contentious social ground.
“We’re seeing the re-emergence of anti-choice views that have been dormant in Quebec, ” Desilets said. “It’s been a bit of a bubble-burster for us. You think everything is great, but then these little incidents happen.”
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Jill:
The baby Jesus pictures are entirely appropriate. You see, abortion is satan’s twisted logic at trying to save his own hide. He still thinks he can kill God. Have you not read my propehtic quote on what abortion truly is? Here it is:
Abortion is an affront to the creative nature of God, it negates God as Creator,
Abortion denies the power of God to right a wrong, it negates God as Redeemer,
Abortion makes that which is good, the birth of human life, into that which is evil, the death of human life, and then calls it good, the very definition of blasphemy,
Abortion negates the resurrection power of God as it takes flesh that is alive in it’s earthly abode (the womb) and kills it, while God takes that flesh which is dead in it’s earthly abode (the grave) and desires to make it alive,
Abortion’s desire is to take that which was composed from the chaotic array of elemental molecules into a symphony of life infused with an eternal soul, and turn it back to the entropy of randomness, chaos, nothingness, uselessness.
Abortion is against all that is hopeful, all that requires faith for success; for it’s solution; annihilation, it’s goal; death, it’s dream; breaking God’s heart, it’s vision, Satan’s ultimate power.
Abortion is a counterfeit, for the clawprints of Satan are everywhere to be found in its performance;
Abortion disguises hate as love, bondage as freedom, choice as maturity, sin as righteousness, political correctness as wisdom,
Abortion pits men against women, mothers against their children, fathers against God, Yes, abortion is Satan’s feeble attempt at killing God Himself, for abortion is a metaphor for Satan; it is his coat of arms, his family crest, his logo, his brand, it belongs to him……for he laughs at its willing proponents as they craft their own self-destruction, mantled in self-deception.

Those two pictures… what a contrast…
HisMan,
I posted your prophetic words on my Passionate Prolifer
blog today, in contrast to the WND article about Hillary’s
OB/GYN.
Prayers that this “luckless human soul” sees the light before
it is too late.
Les:
May all the Glory, and the Honor, and the Praise be to our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, forever, and ever, Amen.
Abortion: The Devil’s MASTERPIECE!
Instead of “this is My body, given up for you”…it is now “This is my body and my choice whether you(unborn) live or die”
The utterly subjugated Canadian pro-life contingent is breaking through the silence barrier (what we’d see in the US without 1st Amendment rights) to protest its Parliament’s July 1 announcement to present abortionist relic Henry Morgentaler Canada’s highest public award, the Order of Canada.
Well we’re not totally subjugated but getting there. For example, most universities in Canada will no longer be able to have prolife groups. Apparently discussing and debating abortion constitutes hate because of course, abortion is a human right and human rights are nondebatable!
4 individuals have returned their Order of Canada medals. However, Morgentaler’s award of the Order of Canada has simply proven what most of us Canadians already know: the award is a sham to begin with.
Morgentaler is a man without shame: imagine preforming an abortion on nation-wide TV in 1973, on Mother’s Day. Despicable!
Patricia,
You don’t think that would be on YouTube, do you?
In fact, is any abortin-in-progress on YouTube?
Well we’re not totally subjugated but getting there. For example, most universities in Canada will no longer be able to have prolife groups. Apparently discussing and debating abortion constitutes hate because of course, abortion is a human right and human rights are nondebatable!
The pro-lifer groups may not be allowed in the schools but they will continue their work on their own and hopefully be even stronger and more determined. Morgantaler is a disgrace. Canadians must continue to pray for Life!
From Canada.com (see link above):
Born in Lodz, Poland, in 1923, he spent time in Auschwitz and Dachau concentration camps during the Second World War before starting medical studies in Belgium and completing those same studies in Montreal. He opened his practice in 1955, in the same building where he started performing illegal abortions in 1968.
Could Morgantaler’s horrible experience in the concentration camps have spurred him to make this career choice?
Janet: first of all when Morgentaler came into focus in the early 70’s there was considerable discussion as to whether he was in fact ever in a concentration camp.
Nevertheless, he states that his experience during the Holocaust convinced him that every child should be a “wanted’ child. How? I have no friggin idea.
I think this man is a very disturbed person. Like Nathanson he aborted his first child. The fact that he spent 20 years breaking the law is an affront to those who have received the Order of Canada.
Maybe they should give the FLQ the Order of Canada?
Patricia: 8:26: he states that his experience during the Holocaust convinced him that every child should be a “wanted’ child.
What a sorry man. He kills children for a living to “save” unwanted children from life on earth. Disturbed indeed.
Maybe they should give the FLQ the Order of Canada?
I had to google FLQ. Yes, that would make about as much sense.
This does have a silver lining. Macleans, which is Canada’s most prominent news weekly magazine, put out an issue calling for a democratic debate on abortion.
That’s progress for us.

Patricia,
Is God not hearing you?
Why are you crying out to me? Tell the people to get moving!
Exodus 14:15 NLT
When God waits
There are a lot of why questions that we lift up to God. Every day people are looking to heaven and crying out in frustration, “Lord, why aren’t you doing something about this? Why is this happening to me?” We saturate the airwaves with the why questions of life.
I’m convinced that God has one answer for almost every one of those questions. He says, I’m just waiting on you.
When Moses and the Israelites stood on the edge of the Red Sea watching the Egyptian army close in on them, they cried out to God in fear. They began praying that God would somehow rescue them. And look what God said: “Tell the people to get moving!” (Exodus 14:15). To paraphrase, “I’m just waiting for you.”
Too often we spend our days waiting for a miracle. When trouble comes, we cry out to God for help. When things don’t move fast enough, we blame God for taking his time. And all the while God is saying to us, I haven’t gone anywhere. I’m just waiting on you.
And what is it that God is waiting for? Often he is waiting for us to lay aside our own agenda and trust him.
Maybe I lack imagine but I see very little in common between doing abortions for women who want them and separatist terrorism.
From what I read it does sound as if RTLs are being repressed in some ways in Canada though. I don’t support repressing RTLism but it’s always a mistake to underestimate the capacity of the RTL press for exaggeration.
Canada sounds really awful. Speaking against abortion is a hate crime. You have got to be frickin kidding me. When did that becaome the law of the land? I didn’t really how Canada was such a repressive society. Isn’t freedom of speech an integral part of democracy? Would standing on the street with a picture of an abortion be illegal?
“This does have a silver lining. Macleans, which is Canada’s most prominent news weekly magazine, put out an issue calling for a democratic debate on abortion.”
“That’s progress for us.”

Suzanne this is very good!
truthseeker: it’s been like this for years and the reason is our judiciary which is completely and totally controlled by proabortion liberal elites who are trained in our left-wing law schools.
The prime motivator for the award to Morgentaler was Madame Justice Beverly MacLaughlin who has emphatically stated that it is the ROLE of judges not to follow case law but to MAKE the laws of Canada. She is one very scary dame with a huge agenda.
The other problem is our Charter of Rights and Freedoms which is the work and legacy of Pierre Elliott Trudeau, who single-handedly brought Canada to it’s knees. He was warned that people would lose more rights than they would ever gain under the Charter. It has now come to pass. You cannot write or say anything publicly against the homosexual lifestyle for example. Our Human Rights Tribunals see to that. Witness the recent case against the Canadian magazine Insight.
anon was me
I was running my virus scan! blah!
SoMG,
Did you see the video from Austria(?), where people are paid by the police and government to actually harass pro lifers?
MK: in Germany you cannot homeschool your children. In fact they will take your children away from you and send them to a psychiatrist.
More and more our western societies are becoming very repressed.
I believe several people who received the Order of Canada gave their award back, one was a nun…
Jasper: one was Catherine Doherty – she has a group in Combermere Ontario known as Madonna House.
They also run retreats for families (we’ve been on one when I was newly abandoned)and many families from the eastern US come.
It is wonderful.
Fr. David May who led the retreat when I was there, returned Catherine’s medal on Tues of last week in a public declaration.
Also a priest has returned his and others are considering.
IN the end, it will make no difference though.
When we were fighting Morgentaler, we had a million signature petition which was brought into the House of Commons in box after box, before all the MP’s proving that many Canadians did not want this “right” to abortion. They never listened.
We actually have no true representation of the people in our government and haven’t for about 30 years now. They simply do what they like.
Of course what many of us didn’t know at the time was that many of these MP’s used Morgentaler to rid the evidence of illicit sexual activity they themselves were involved in. Our PM, Trudeau, at the time had a brother who was referring patients to Morgentaler – so waht do you expect, eh?
It’s always the innocent that suffer. In this case the little unborn babies of Canada.
Patricia,
What about speaking the “truth” without the judgemental part. Could I say carry a sign the says “anal sex is unhelathy”? Or could I carry a picture of an aborted fetus that read “this is what abortion does”?
Patricia,
Could you start a prolife blog in Canada and do what Jill does?
Or could I carry a picture of an aborted fetus that read “this is what abortion does”?

Well not very well on a university campus. Displays are often destroyed as at Calgary U in 2005 or vandalized. In fact Students for Choice advocates vandalism, and mass destruction piece by piece of prolife displays.
The University of Calgary has had an ongoing dispute with the Genocide Awareness Project which displays pictures of EXACTLY what an abortion entails. Proaborts have done everything possible to prevent these displays including running soccer games in front of the displays, attempting to get the students to turn the pictures inwards so no one can see them (that was a REAL gem) and standing in front of the displays to prevent students from seeing the pictures.
In a bizarre irony of choice, York University has instituted a new policy this year stating that no YFS (York Federation of Students)resources or space will be available to “anti-choice” activities!
In March YFS halted a planned abortion debate at the University.
Apparently, once one crosses onto the property of an institute of higher learning you step into a dictatorship run by proabort elitists.
Believe me, it takes alot of courage today to be a prolife student. I took the prolife sticker off my car at University of Western Ontario because I was afraid my car would be vandalized and as a single mom I can’t afford expensive car repairs.
If you did this on a street in Canada (carry a sign) everyone would think you are nuts! We can’t protest in front of abortion clinics as this right has been taken away from us – I think it’s called the bubble zone. No picketers, no counsellors – nyet, nothing!
To be honest, truthseeker, if you carried a sign about anal sex, you’d probably be a goner! Honestly, in the university climate no one dares to go against homosexuality. The university climate in Canada is not conducive to discussing anything that deals with abortion, contraception, or homosexuality in a respectful, open way.
Carla: I couldn’t do it. I don’t have the time. There was an active prolife blog but for some reason no posts have been up for some time. I’m not sure why.
BTW: an eighth person has announced he will be returning his Order of Canada award.
So far the following have done so:
Former Lieutenant Governor of New Brunswick Gilbert Finn
Monsignor A.J. Goski
Madonna House foundress Catherine Doherty
Father Lucien Larre
Frank Chauvin
Three anonymous recipients
Particia,
Sounds like Canada could use a few men who aren’t afraid of confrontation. I can see how you would feel intimidated by them and fearful for your prorerty and your children. Pro-abort mentality means they likely carry little respect for others. And with the law on their side I understand why you would be afraid of getting abused….. for loving the unborn… how sick
Well truthseeker, it was after much prayer and discussing this with my friends.
When I use to do counselling I was knocked down, punched and threatened. I’m not a big woman, only about 5’2 and quite slight so it was scary at times!
Mostly it was verbal abuse that I put up with.
The proaborts have no qualms about punching, kicking and hitting prolifers. These are really very angry people with little love in their hearts.
Patricia: 6:28: BTW: an eighth person has announced he will be returning his Order of Canada award.
Good for them. They are pro-life heroes!
Good for them indeed! That is wonderful!

That sucks there’s nobody there to help those women. :(
wow, insightful posts Patricia…
“The proaborts have no qualms about punching, kicking and hitting prolifers. These are really very angry people with little love in their hearts.”
very true Patricia, all one has to do is look at one of these feminist blogs, nasty language.. .and don’t try to advocate for the unborn, they’ll call you a women hater and ban you right away.
“Apparently, once one crosses onto the property of an institute of higher learning you step into a dictatorship run by proabort elitists.”
LOL..so true..
Patricia,
the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP) you referred to seems to have had some success in educating the people about the truth of the personhood of the unborn.
http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/apr/08040909.html
The Canadian Center for Bioethical Reform (CCBR)are the ones that organize GAP demonstrations on Canadian college campuses. I think I would support them in any way I could if I were Canadian. It must be hard for those Canadian students who join them though. Especially since they have to remain on the campuses when the organized protests are long gone. In Jesus’ name I ask God to grace the CCBR with the strength and fortitude to educate all Canadians to repect the lives of unborn children. And may His holy angels comfort and protect Patricia and all those students who stand up against the murderous, decitful legions that have gained control of their campuses.
Our father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses.
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen
Very amazing site
Thanks, webmaster.
