CBC beatifies Morgentaler (Canada).The first 20 minutes of the hour-long Life and Times TV program on November 16, 1999, was devoted to Morgentaler's past in Poland. He was shown crying at the place where his father was arrested by the Nazis in 1940 and, again, when throwing stones at the gates At the Gates are a Swedish melodic death metal band. They are one of the forebears of the Gothenburg sound of heavy metal along with other bands of the Gothenburg metal scene like Dark Tranquillity and In Flames. of the Dachau concentration camp Dachau was a Nazi German concentration camp, and the first one opened in Germany, located on the grounds of an abandoned munitions factory near the medieval town of Dachau, about 16 km (10 miles) northwest of Munich in southern Germany. in Germany. Said Morgentaler, "I tried in my life to undo the evil I experienced here." The second and third sections--another 20 minutes divided by advertising--resumed his history in Germany first, then his arrival in Canada in 1950. "I had an inordinate need to be loved," Morgentaler observes in explanation of his extramarital ex·tra·mar·i·tal adj.

His joining of the Humanist League in 1967 to lead the battle against religion and his subsequent drive for legal abortions are intimately connected. He explains: "It was a battle against cruel religion first and then against cruel laws."

Noticing how things have changed today, namely that Morgentaler owns eight abortion clinics An abortion clinic is a medical facility that performs or specializes in abortions. Such clinics may be public medical centers or private medical practices. Planned Parenthood, whose clinics offer abortions as well as other reproductive care and counseling, is the largest , the program went back to the seventies and eighties, relating the personal legal struggles Morgentaler faced in Quebec and, later on, in the rest of Canada to bring about his victory. In a final scene, he is shown with his (third) wife and 11-year-old son. The subject is the violence of his opponents, the pro-lifers. Concludes Morgentaler: "I lived up to my ideals."

For one thing, not counting the income from his Edmonton clinic for which no figures are available, Morgentaler's clinical enterprises earn him over $17 million annually in gross revenue (see www.lifesite.net/idn, Nov. 10, 1999). For another--and more importantly--Morgentaler's contribution to Canada's welfare has been the personal snuffing out of approximately 400,000 human lives. Needless to say, he has also entrapped their mothers in his false ideal. Sad to say, there is no difference between the Nazi ideal of ridding the world of unwanted races, or the Marxist ideal of ridding the world of everyone who is not a labourer and Morgentaler's ideal of ridding the world of so-called unwanted babies. |
