Before Morgentaler Part One: Law Breakers: This year marks the 35th anniversary of the Supreme Court of Canada’s Morgentaler Decision. That landmark decision decriminalized abortion across Canada and turned the courageous Dr. Henry Morgentaler into a household name.

So, who were the women who fought for abortion rights – and even helped others access illegal abortions – before The Morgentaler Decision?
