Let’s talk about goals some more. We need to see what success looks like so we can learn and get there ourselves. Our neighbor to the north, Canada, is goals as far as abortion. Per the National Abortion Federation of Canada, “Canada currently has no law regarding abortion; it is treated like other medical procedures and regulated through provincial/territorial and professional bodies.”  

It wasn’t always that way though. Suits had to be filed and Dr. Henry Morgantaler was jailed until the Canadian abortion laws were declared unconstitutional in 1988 in the case R. v. Morgantaler. So, who was Dr. Morgantaler? 

Dr. Henry Morgantaler, a Holocaust survivor and physician, fought against anti-abortion laws until they were changed. Dr. Morgantaler believed as we do – we cannot ignore the anti-abortion forces, they will not go away unchallenged (see photos). 

The quote from Dr. Morgantaler is included in a great book, “Abortion Is A Woman’s Right”, first published in 1985. Wisdom. We Engage shares Dr. Morgantaler’s opinion – we cannot ignore the anti-abortion forces spreading lies.  

With responsible engagement, we CAN make a difference, countering their false narratives wherever they are from the sidewalks to legislatures and courts.  

Let’s learn from the successes as well as learn from our mistakes. Knowledge is power, and we’re going to need all we can get. 

“They can’t be ignored, because if you leave them alone, they will take away your rights.” - Dr. Henry Morgantaler
