Abortion Ship Leaves Polish Port

World | June 27, 2003, Friday // 00:00

A ship run by Dutch abortion-rights campaigners has left a Polish port for international waters with about a dozen Polish women aboard. The campaigners, Women on Waves, were expected to give the women family planning advice away from Poland's restrictive anti-abortion laws. They would not say if they were planning to give the women so-called abortion pills, or emergency contraception, which is banned in deeply Catholic Poland. The ship has attracted egg- and paint-throwing protesters and a USD 3,000 fine since arriving at the port of Wladyslawowo on Sunday.
