Anything that has the potential for closing down a Morgentaler abattoir\u00a0 is a good thing<\/a>:<\/p>\n

MONTREAL \u2013 Opened illegally in Montreal in 1969, Dr. Henry Morgentaler\u2019s first abortion clinic could shut down as early as next month. The threat of closing is not coming from anti-abortion protesters, who have targeted the clinic for 40 years, but from a Quebec law that will govern how special medical clinics provide services.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s terribly sad. We still have to fight,\u201d physician Francine L\u00e9ger, the clinic\u2019s interim director, said Monday.<\/p>\n

Bill 34, which was adopted by the National Assembly in the spring, says abortion clinics must adhere to the same guidelines as specialized medical clinics that provide such procedures as cataract and knee surgery.<\/p>\n

That means they have to set up separate sterile operating rooms as opposed to simply sterilizing surgical equipment.<\/p>\n

Two other abortion clinics \u2013 F\u00e9mina and Alternative \u2013 face the same fate when Bill 34 goes into effect Sept. 30.<\/p>\n

About 30,000 women seek abortions annually in Quebec \u2013 15,000 in Montreal \u2013 and about one-third are performed in private clinics, which bill the government.<\/p>\n

The closings will affect about 100 women a week, who will need to find a new place to terminate their pregnancies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It will also affect 100 babies a week: they won\u2019t be murdered in the Morgentaler abortion factory.<\/p>\n

Morgentaler believes he deserved the order of Canada because he worked tirelessly<\/a> for women\u2019s reproductive rights<\/em>:<\/p>\n

“I can think of no one who has worked harder on behalf of women\u2019s reproductive choice and women\u2019s reproductive rights than Dr. Henry Morgentaler since the … late 1960s,” she said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Reproductive rights –<\/em> a concept now enshrined in a UN declaration \u2013 on the face of it, appears to be a statement of support for women to have babies \u2013 as many as they would like without state interference or disapprobation from eco-nuts who believe that it is un-green to reproduce. But no, in the never ending crusade to conceal\u00a0 diablerie in the innocuous, the meaning of reproductive rights <\/em>is just the opposite: it\u2019s the right to kill babies.<\/p>\n

Sadly, in our\u00a0cultural climate of obeisance to Moloch, it is probably too much to hope that Bill 34 will actually make much difference.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
