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.
This is when the long battle began..
It is important to give credit to the people who fought a long battle. It is not a matter of right or wrong but a matter of choice. Another step for the feminist movement which, ironically, was started by one man- supporting women.
Here is some Morgentaler's thoughts 20 years after. Click here for the interview

Caramel
Caramel is a film directed by Nadine Labaki who is also one of the central characters in the movie. The movie is set in Beirut Lebanon. it does not touch on the politics of the country, but rather It touches on the issues of 'modern women' in that society. It is great movie that is not directed by Hollywood... (that speaks for itself).
