Headline seekers such as Henry Morgentaler have come to town (Calgary), officiously offering "help" to resolve the problem. Actually, there is no problem. Alberta Health Minister Marv Moore is merely enforcing the prohibition against extra-billing, refusing to allow exceptions for abortionists. He is doing what his [...]
