Marking 20th Anniversary

On January 28th 1988 the Supreme Court of Canada has made an important decision that would change the lives of many females in the Canadian Society. On that important day, the Morgentler Decision was passes and abortion in Canada was legalized thanks to one (ironically) man, Henry Morgentaler. Giving up his family practice, he decided to openly perform safe abortions in his existing clinic at the time when those were still illegal in Canada. He was arrested by the Canadian government in 1970 after the two years of such practice.
