MOSCOW, Dec 1 (LSN) – Russian newspapers reported last week that elderly women held up a traveling abortion- contraception “clinic” in Moscow, after it began its “maiden” voyage last Thursday. About 50 protesters, mostly elderly women, blocked the tram’s passage. The good women defied the government and international criticism by blocking the tram's passage and dousing it liberally with eggs.

The “Streetcar Called Bordello,” as one protester called it, is sponsored by the Health Ministry and the Family Planning association. Its aim is to indoctrinate the young and attract their attention with its sky-blue colour, decorated with white and blue balloons.
