Abortionist Morgentaler Threatens Provincial Taxpayers

Henry Morgentaler says he plans to go to court to force some provinces to pay for abortions in private facilities.

"Not satisfied with the blood money he collects in killing innocent preborn babies for a living, Henry Morgentaler has announced he plans to sue some Canadian provinces to pay for his private despicable business", said Jim Hughes, National President of Campaign Life Coalition. "It seems Henry craves the media attention he always receives with these announcements almost as much as he craves the extra billing he seeks, whether it comes from the woman or the taxpayer or both", continued Mr. Hughes.

"The federal government is looking for ways to save health care dollars and here we have an individual wasting tax payer money on court cases to line his own pockets", said Karen Murawsky, CLC Director of the Public Affairs Office in Ottawa.

Campaign Life Coalition calls on the federal government to ignore these publicity- seeking rantings and use tax payers money to heal the sick, not kill the healthy.
