The surrender of the Order of Canada to Dr. Henry Morgentaler is Much ink and saliva past few days. For some, this man is a hero. For others, this man is a real monster.

No half-measure, this is all one or the other. I am not one of the people who evilise Henry Morgentaler. But I must tell you one thing.

I think some of his assertions extremely doubtful.

"MY BIGGEST SUCCESS"

A few years ago, I interviewed Henry Morgentaler for television. He released a phrase he repeated several times throughout his career: that the greatest achievement of his professional life was to participate in lowering the crime rate in Canada.

Children who are not wanted are not loved and tend to become offenders, he said. By preventing their birth, he made service to society.

I remember being left speechless when the doctor started me this sentence in his clinic Boulevard Saint-Joseph in Montreal. The stupidity of this statement I had sawed the two legs.

As if ALL children loved badly go wrong! As if ALL children want to become good citizens!

As if beaten children NECESSARILY became executioners, and loved children, saints! What is this bullshit?

If I writing a list of the biggest nonsense ever uttered by Canadian personalities, this sentence of Henry Morgentaler would be part of my Top three.

Doctor NOSTRADAMUS

What the doctor claims to be proud to have helped protect the lives of women participating in legalizing abortion is one thing. But to lower the crime rate?

How can a person have the pretension to predict the fate of a person WHICH ARE NOT BORN?

Henry Morgentaler has a special power? Doe's he guess the future? Is he the reincarnation of Nostradamus?

He knows what foetus turn well, and what foetus turn evil?

He could protect us from Hitler and Stalin if he had practised abortions at the time, right? Really, I'm disturbed ...

You can imagine what people would say if Stephen Harper announced he was going to kill all unwanted fetus in order to fight against crime?

We would denounce that as eugenics! On dirait que c'est une politique d'extrême droite ! It seems like a policy of far-right!

But when is the "good doctor" Morgentaler which launches such rudeness, everybody is in "pâmoison" ...

THE COMPLEX OF GOD

I do not make friends, but if only for having pronounced the sentence ignoble (not once, not twice but many times over his career), I believe that Henry Morgentaler deserves not the Order of Canada.

Whatever the August doctor say, the fact that a child is a wanted or not is absolutely no guarantee that he will do in the future.

We know that many doctors are taking to God, but there is a limit evil ...

Batman, Superman and Spiderman send criminals to prison. Henry Morgentaler, however, goes further and addresses the very sources of crime. This is not a medal that we should give it.

But a cape and a mask.
