Protest against Morgentaler Order of Canada continues

Joe Sinasac rounds up the reaction in the Catholic Register:

TORONTO - A firestorm of protest continues to sweep across Canada in the
wake of a July 1 announcement that abortion doctor Henry Morgentaler would
receive the Order of Canada.Catholic bishops from coast to coast joined numerous
pro-life groups in condemning the decision by Governor General Michaëlle
Jean to give the country’s highest honour to the man whose name is most widely
associated with the fact that Canada, almost alone among civilized nations, has
no legal restrictions on abortion.

At the same time, momentum is building in a nationwide campaign to push Prime Minister Stephen Harper into reversing the decision. Thousands have signed online petitions and letters are pouring into government offices.So far, two Order of Canada medals have been returned by recipients who feel the honour has been tarnished.On July 8, representatives of Madonna House in Combermere, Ont., returned the award given to the community’s founder, Catherine Doherty, a pioneer of social justice and Christian compassion.
