Dr. Morgantaler passes away

Dr Henry Morgentaler passed away Wednesday at the age of 90, due to a heart attack.

Morgentaler dedicated his life to family planning issues, namely providing safe and legal abortions in Canada.

He spearheaded the abortion movement, opening the country’s first abortion clinic in Montreal. His activism was not without immense controversy.

In 1974 he was acquitted on the charge of carrying out an illegal abortion. According to the CBC this was because a Montreal jury refused to endorse the law, deeming it ‘unfair”.The province later appealed the acquittal.
