Andrew MacDougall must be pining for the good old days when Christians could make Birth Control part of the Criminal Code of Canada, and make Divorce all but impossible for most Canadians in failed marriages.

As late as 1961 Toronto Pharmacist Harold Fine was arrested, charged, and convicted for selling Birth Control. The Glory Days of Church Officials telling Politicians what is a crime and what is not a crime are long gone, thank goodness.

Pioneering Planned Parenthood caseworker Dorothea Palmer was repeatedly charged, but no prosecutor could find a jury to convict her. One zealot grabbed Palmer off the street and dragged her toward an alley, saying that he was going to show her what it was like without birth control. A well placed kick fortunately eliminated his zeal.
