tribune february 17 1988 a9 deaf editor lately theres been much noise by henry morgentaler ab- oiit the recent decision by the sup reme court of canada and specifi cally how hes willing to forgive the fact that different levels of government have persecuted him for two decades the national media seems to be made a hero m lapping this up and no wonder when one considers that more than 80 pei cent of these people are proabortion the trend seems to be to elevate mr morgentaler as a champion of civil rights as a hero as a huma nitarian they dont care to speak of certain aspects of his medical career for example how many people are aware mr morgentaler was suspended from the medical prac tice by the quebec medical disci plinary committee for among other things an attitude which is primarily directed to protecting his fees failure to perform the necessary testsfailure to follow up the state of health of jljxbridge twp councillors hike salaries and car allowances by kate gilderdale members

the beachwood homes development was put on hold following receipt of a letter from a nearby resident concerned about problems en countered in phase 1 councillor bushell felt the issue of sufficient park land should be addressed before approval is granted we dont want the de veloper to say he cant provide it later on he said council agreed to defer any de cision until a later date to allow time for the residents concerns to be addressed his patients after having per formed the operation he aiso admitted to reusing disposable vacurettes clearly marked cannot be used thus saving himself 350 on each at a time when he charged 150 for an abortion this dangerous practice could lead to hepatitis tetanus gan grene herpes ii and other dis eases the preceding paragraph was taken from a paid ad published in the interim national newspaper mr morgentaler also admitted on a radio show in ottawa octo ber 1985 when questioned re garding pathology exams for re moved fetal tissue that these were not routinely done in his cli nics nor did he feel they were necessary this did not sit well however with the corporation profes- sionelle des medicins du quebec they promptly informed mr morgentaler concerning the need to carry out this task im told the pathological exams are performed to ensure the woman is actually with child and the abortion is not performed needlessly for one thing pathol ogy exams can also detect other abnormalities that can threaten the life or health of the mother and the absence of fetal tissue can indicate the possibility of a tubal pregnancy i do not believe its in the best interests of anyone except perhaps mr morgentaler him self to accept his oftrepeated offer to train ontario doctors to perform abortions mr morgentaler from the in formation he himself provides takes in from his toronto abortu- ary alone 1200000 a year this is based on 16 abortions a day 50 weeks a year at 300 each if one includes the fees he charges for the alleged counsel ing and examination we could jack this total to 16 million year ly keep in mind the subject has several clinics spread throughout the urban centres of our nation now he claims 600000 of this is administrative fees this in my opinion seems a tad high but operating under the assumption it is for the moment why is the gov ernment opening up centres like this all over ontario the police department has spent more than a million dollars t of taxpayers money offering this place roundtheclock protection thus far do eianor caplan and david peterson believe they wont have the same problems in peterborough or hamilton or any other community in our pro vince morality and ethics aside this is fiscally unsound to say the least the mpp for peterborough pe ter adams stated in a letter dated jan 14 to a citizen of beaverton there are no plans to develop an abortionondemand clinic at civic hospital if there were i would oppose- them unless the federal govern ment comes out with a new law that is exactly the type of clinic that will be built if mr adams is keeping his word hes keeping it very quietly sincerely ken canning family coalition party durhamyork natianallhist wefnwkesuie yourkrspis right on
