The doctor who risked his life for abortion rights (Part 1 of 2) | See You In Court
When Dr. Henry Morgentaler starts offering abortions in 1968, he knows he’s breaking the law. Eventually, police move in, shutting down his Montreal clinic, arresting him, and sending him to jail. But instead of backing down, Morgentaler’s emboldened, reopening his clinic to offer thousands more abortions — and even performing a procedure on live TV on Mother’s Day.
Host Falen Johnson and journalist Julie Ireton explore the multiple court battles Morgentaler fought in Quebec, his time in prison and why he was willing to go to such great lengths to challenge the province’s abortion laws, over and over again.
This episode is Part 1 of two.
