One of Henry Morgentaler's jury trial acquittals in Quebec (probably 
the first) was overturned by the Quebec Court of Appeal. This eventually
led to the Morgentaler Amendment which disallows this type of thing.
However, I wonder how much of a fuss would be put up by the public
if the government was to repeal said amendment? I would like to think
quite a bit, but one never knows - especially if it can be "shown" to be
"for the good of the masses".
