I just want to know if you watched the
henry morgentaler movie last night on
.C.T.V and what you thought about it.
If they potrayed it well???
For those that don't get it.... There
was a movie on last night (on a cdn
channel-that's why i'm asking ms.Rosie
since I doubt the states got it unless you
have satelite) anyhoo te movie was about
Dr. Henry morgentaler, the doctor who
finally got abortion "legalized" in
canada. I was flipping back and forth
(since law & order was on...) but I
wanted to see if my opinion changed on
anything, and it didn't. I guess I
would have to be old enough to remember
the women's rights movement to maybe see
things differently and as I am only 25 I
don't remember any of it..
If by chance any americans caught it on
sattelite, your opinions are welcome.

Yes, I saw the movie and found it
interesting. I read an article yesterday
interviewing morgentaler and he was quite
pleased with it, said it was accurate, but
he wished it had shown more of his
"softer" side.

It was pretty interesting. I liked the
fact that they put real footage in with
the movie.

I did not see the movie but I was here
w/e.R.A. Was going on and you people
that are starting out should be thankful
of that, as women now are not looked down
upon like they were, heck ya, I burnt my
bra then, I did not need one anyway at the
time(lol), I had to lift 100# sacks of
nuts to get equal pay as the men but I did
it just to prove a point, this is why I
got into nursing and social services
worker. Because of e.R.A. Their is now
a law that no one shall lift over 50#.
Then their was the hippies(peace love
& flowers) I was that too, even though
I was a virgin until my sr. Year in high
school, so tell me about morals, you
mislead pro-lifer's, you did not have to
worry abou drive by kid shootings. They
used to have abortion butcher clinics,
true and we as women should be thankful
that we do have the right of abortion, to
keep the child or to adopt it out, keeping
in mind that only about 50% of adoptions
do go thru and that abortions can be done
in clean hospitals(sort of), if you want
to take away these rights then we will
lose, right to equal pay, right to vote,
etc.
