WARSAW, July 1, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A feminist group involved with the abortion boat which is taking Polish women into international waters, is boasting that "Women on Waves successfully performed the first abortion in international waters off the coast of Poland." The Feminist Majority Foundation, which gave legal counsel to the crew of the abortion ship, has confirmed what the crew of the ship would not confirm, that they have committed abortions.
During the boat's first excursion into international waters last Thursday, some 11 Polish women were on board. On the ship's return, Polish authorities discovered that the seal which they had placed on the illegal-in-Poland RU-486 abortion pills had been broken and 12 were missing. After another trip Saturday carrying five Polish women, customs officials said four more pills were missing.
The originator of the floating abortuary Rebecca Gomperts claimed: "Women on Waves have never and will never distribute any medicines on Polish territory. That will be hopefully also the conclusion of prosecutors."
