Regardless of which side you sit on, Dr. Morgantaler did so much for women's rights in Canada that I believe he deserves the Order of Canada.

For those of you who don't know, the Order of Canada is bestowed upon Canadians whose life time work has made differences in Canada as well as non Canadians who make contributions to the world. It is the highest civilian honor that can be bestowed upon a person in Canada.
