Gordon J. Sullivan

Gordon Joseph Sullivan (January 20, 1920 – October 7, 2011) was the Liberal MP for the riding of Hamilton Mountain from 1968 until 1972. He was a lawyer and judge by profession.

Sullivan was a vocal opponent of abortion. He voted against his own government's omnibus bill to update the Canadian criminal code in 1969, because he disagreed with its provision to liberalize the country's abortion laws.

    Self-love for ever creeps out, like a snake, to sting anything which happens ... to stumble upon it.
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    The fact is popular art dates. It grows quaint. How many people feel strongly about Gilbert and Sullivan today compared to those who felt strongly in 1890?
    Stephen Sondheim (b. 1930)
