Response
to Naming of Henry Morgentaler to Order of Canada |
July 10, 2008
It is with dismay that we heard on July 1st that Dr. Henry Morgentaler
was named to the Order of Canada. I do not believe that his high
honour should be accorded to someone who has made it his ultimate goal
to promote abortions in our nations and worldwide. We are fully aware
that abortion is the willful killing of innocent life, and no argument
for "free choice or personal freedom" gives anyone the right
to take innocent life. I believe this committee has dishonored the
Order of Canada with his nomination. I have written to the Governor
General, the Prime Minister, and my local MPs expressing my objections
to this nomination. I ask that you do the same.
Sincerely in Christ,
+ Fred Colli
Most Rev. Fred J. Colli,
Bishop of Thunder Bay
