One last post about the Morgentaler OC award, and then I promise you I’ll move on.
This really is separate-post worthy though - From Crime to Virtue by George Jonas, which is featured in today’s National Post as his entry in the discussion series for this week. I love reading Jonas’ columns. They’re not just opinion pieces - they’re works of literary art.
And so I will quote some of my favourite parts:
…Perhaps it’s salutary for an abortion doctor’s name to crop up among the recipients, just to put the Order of Canada into perspective. His inclusion doesn’t debase the honour, only illuminates it for the self-congratulatory establishment celebration that it is. Most awards and decorations are a ritual of pack members sniffing each other for the elite scent of recognition, routinely confusing a whiff of posterity with a whiff of posterior. ..
Oh, that is brilliant!

Note: This entry ties in with my Daily Column. Therefore the reason I chose it.

Fits right up there with that wonderful Marxist saying: “I wouldn’t belong to any club that would have me as a member”.

There is an article at NNW today that within a few years women will be able to give birth at age 100. What a horrible thought.
I find it weird that scientists are working on making infertility a thing of the past, one floor of a hospital are working very hard to save preemies and babies born with heart or other problems, while on another floor they are killing babies. However, if I was over 90 and found out I was pregnant, I might want to visit that lower floor. lol
