The Canadian abortion provider and pro-choice pioneer Dr. Henry Morgentaler has died at the age of 90. Seen as one of the founders of the reproductive rights movement in Canada, Morgentaler endured death threats, physical assaults and the firebombing of a clinic. He was arrested multiple times for performing abortions under Canada’s restrictive laws before winning the 1988 Supreme Court case that legalized abortion.
