The Bertha Wilson Motion on Facebook

March 26, 2012 by Andrea Mrozek 3 Comments

If you are on Facebook, and if you feel so inclined, you can choose to like this idea of naming Stephen Woodworth’s motion after the Supreme Court Justice, Bertha Wilson, who said this:

The precise point in the development of the foetus at which the state’s interest in its protection becomes “compelling” I leave to the informed judgement of the legislature which is in a position to receive guidance on the subject from all the relevant disciplines. It seems to me, however, that it might fall somewhere in the second trimester.” (R v Morgentaler 1988)

I clicked over and it looked like all the usual suspects were complaining, so I felt inspired to click “like.”

    If you press on the button with the asterisk-like icon on it, next to “message” (Upper right) you go down the drop-down menu and hit “share” so that your facebook friends can have a chance to join, too! 🙂

    So nice to see anti-feminists and anti-choicers celebrating a giant of Canadian feminism.

    Welcome back, fern hill.

    To repeat: “I clicked over and it looked like all the usual suspects were complaining, so I felt inspired to click ‘like.'”
