PETITION

To: Governor General Michaelle Jean and Prime Minister Stephen Harper,

We, the undersigned, firmly believe that the recent appointment of Henry Morgentaler to the Order of Canada should be promptly revoked. The criterion that must be met in order to receive an Order of Canada appointment is "a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation".

However, due to the extremely divisive and morally contentious nature of Mr. Morgentaler's practice, many Canadians do not believe his work to be positive, but rather dangerous and controversial. In the eyes of these Canadians, his long career as an abortion doctor has caused grave harm to countless women and unborn children. Taking the life of an unborn child is not something that deserves praise or accolades.

By signing this petition, we are expressing our deep concern over this matter and demand that Mr. Morgentaler's Order of Canada appointment be rescinded by Ordinance of the Governor General.
