The new legal regime had significant consequences for matters like adoption, divorce, and suicide. After the bill passed, a great many Canadians continued to challenge how sexual behaviour was governed, demanding much more exhaustive changes to the law. Fifty years later, the origins and legacies of the bill are equivocal and the state still seems interested in the bedrooms of the nation. This incisive study explains why that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction \/ \u003cem\u003eChristopher Dummitt and Christabelle Sethna\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: Regulation, Rupture, and Continuity\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1 Because It's 1969: The Omnibus Bill and the New Morality of the Self \/ \u003cem\u003eChristopher Dummitt\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2 \"Is Abortion Ever Right?\": The United Church of Canada and the Debate over Abortion Law Reform, 1960–1980 \/ \u003cem\u003eKatrina Ackerman, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eBruce Douville, \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eand Shannon Stettner\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3 Not a Gift from Above: The Mythology of Homosexual Law Reform and the Making of Neoliberal Queer Histories \/ \u003cem\u003eGary Kinsman\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: Activist Responses\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4 \"The State's Key to the Bedroom Door\": Queer Perspectives on Pierre Elliot Trudeau's \"Just Society\" in an Era of Bathhouse Raids \/ \u003cem\u003eTom Hooper\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 Law Reform, Liberal Democracies, and the Transnational History of Gay Liberation \/\u003cem\u003e Scott deGroot\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 Seeing Red: The Toronto Women's Caucus, the RCMP Security Service, and the Campaign to Repeal the 1969 Abortion Law \/ \u003cem\u003eChristabelle Sethna and Steve Hewitt\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 3: Beyond the Omnibus Bill\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 Insulated from the Law: Married Women, the Pill, and the \"Public Good\" \/ \u003cem\u003eJessica Haynes\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8 \"Something More\": The State's Place in the Bedrooms of Lesbian Nation \/ \u003cem\u003eKaren Pearlston\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9 Life Interrupted: The Biopolitics of Abortion and Attempted Suicide in Canada in the Late Sixties and Early Seventies \/ \u003cem\u003eIsabelle Perrault\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 4: Back to the Future\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10 The Law (and) Unintended Consequences: Adoption and the Omnibus Bill of 1969 \/ \u003cem\u003eLori Chambers\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11 Is That Really Necessary?
