LifeSite Daily NewsThe request by the Coalition for Life and Health to intervene in the case of Morgentaler vs. New Brunswick has been denied by Mr. Justice David Russell in his ruling of April 2. The Coalition was formed in response to the launching of a lawsuit by abortionist Morgentaler against the province of New Brunswick because of its refusal to subsidize [...]
Acting on a threat he has made for years, Henry Morgentaler has launched a lawsuit which, if successful, will force the province of New Brunswick to pay for abortions at his Fredericton abortuary. The suit has national implications according to Peter Ryan, executive director of New Brunswick Right to Life. "It could mean a new Charter 'right' to abortion on demand, as [...]
Interim Staff A dispute over liability insurance closed the doors of Henry Morgentaler's Edmonton abortuary for two weeks. Upon noticing that the abortuary was not holding up its liability insurance obligations, Capital Health, the city's regional health authority, attempted to bump up the facility's liability requirement to $5 million, the same amount Capital Health requires Royal Alexandria Hospital, which also commits taxpayer-funded [...]
Over the past year, Canada has heard much of Henry Morgentaler. The abortionist has continued to champion the view that in order to be truly liberated, women must have the right to abort the children conceived within them. As a youngster in Poland in the 1920s, Morgentaler grew up in a family where religion was relegated to the dustbin. His father was [...]

In Nova Scotia, Henry Morgentaler is trying again to get the government to pay facility fees of $425 per procedure at his abortion franchise on McCully Street in Halifax. The provincial practice is to pay only the doctor's fee. At less than $140 each, Nova Scotia's total payout for the 134 abortions performed in 1999 was about $18,500. The remainder of Morgentaler's [...]
Like the groundhog, Henry Morgentaler has surfaced again with his perennial campaign to establish government-funded abortuaries – his abortuaries – in every province. He has written a letter to new federal Health Minister Anne McLellan pointing out that five provincial governments – P.E.I., Manitoba, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia – refuse to pay for clinic abortions. As always, he argues that [...]

The main substance of the article is the result of a 10-year study by psychological experts on the effects of daycare on young children. The principal researcher is a Dr. Belsky, a developmental psychologist at the [...]
'Not in the slightest contrite' in continuing to protest abortion Henry Morgentaler, Canada's most flamboyant abortionist, is an in-your-face kinda guy. That's presumably why he chose a location adjacent to a junior high school and within sight of several churches for his new Fredericton, N.B., abortuary. Of course, Henry was on hand for the grand opening, milking as much publicity as he [...]

I got the shock of my life recently. The phone rang. I picked it up and heard a very familiar voice. “Is that you ‘Idiothead’ – er I mean Frank?’ With that delightful little nickname that he had for me I knew who it was, old friend Henry Morgentaler, immediately. “Frank, I’m in deep trouble – I’m in jail.” “Jail?” I thought [...]
