Amnesty for Morgentaler

This red button with the slogan “Amnesty for Morgentaler Now” in white letters was produced in 1975. It was part of a campaign demanding amnesty for Dr. Henry Morgentaler who had been convicted of performing abortions at his independent clinic in Montreal, the first in Canada, and to win repeal of the restrictive law which criminalized abortions unless performed in a hospital and with the approval of a therapeutic abortion committee.
