Morgentaler is a Holocaust survivor. After emigrating to Canada, he opened an illegal abortion clinic. He was imprisoned and fined for his abortion activities. Legal actions culiminated when the Supreme Court of Canada sided with him and asserted a right to abortion. He is now the proprietor of many abortion clinics throughout Canada. The Executive Director of the (Canadian) Catholic Civil Rights League sums up I think most rational people’s opinion of this: “We are shocked and disappointed that our nation’s highest civilian honour would be granted to its best-known champion of abortion, or as many call it, the culture of death.”
