*[[Henry Morgentaler]]<ref>http://archives.cbc.ca/health/reproductive_issues/topics/107/ Henry Morgentaler</ref>, an ordinary doctor and Holocaust survivor, could not stand to see the suffering caused by Canada's abortion laws and singlehandedly forced a change in the law and an amendment to Canada's constitution. The [[Morgentaler Amendment]]<ref>http://www.nndb.com/people/044/000171528/ Morgentaler amendment</ref> prohibits judges in appeal courts from overturning jury acquittals. (In repeated trials brought by the Quebec government, no jury would convict Morgentaler when they realized the suffering that anti-abortion laws were causing to real, ordinary people.)
