I'm sure this is some violation of EU rules. Poland should enjoy their own sovereignty while they can. They will be unable to make such moral decisions on their own without getting orders from Brussels first.

WOW!!! Never heard of an "abortion ship". Do they throw the fetuses overboard to feed the eviromentally friendly fishes????

[CounterCounterCulture]

Abortion ships, slave ships, pirate ships...evil is evil.

Hooray for Poland!

[taxcontrol]

I like Poland. Perhaps we can offer them statehood if they will leave the EU?

[Batrachian]

Why hasn't anyone sunk this thing yet?

[lilylangtree]

Big Salute to Poland for its stance!!!!

"Why hasn't anyone sunk this thing yet?"

Only the good die young.

[Hacksaw]

Good for the Poles. That ship full of ghouls should go to California.

[Psycho_Bunny]

If this were an Iranian flagged ship carrying a nuclear weapon, or a floating Chinese bio-weapons research facility, Poland could deny entry based on the threat of harm to it's citizens.

But there's a controversy because Poland won't allow a ship to dock because the mission statement of the ship is to kill babies?

If Poland has a sub, I wouldn't care if they welcomed that ship into their waters and then torpedoed the %#$!ing thing.

It's good to see that the socialist scumbags haven't corrupted ALL of Europe.

Wishing big big wave would come sink the boat.

The next time this ship comes to Poland, it will likely have a whole EU naval battle group as an escort. Then things are going to get quite interesting indeed.

The ship, which offers abortions in international waters to women in countries where the procedure is more restricted than in the Netherlands

Wow... an abortion Special Forces unit. Unbelievable.

You just can't make this stuff up.

[Moose4]

The more I hear about Poland these days, the more I like them.

This outfit might be based in the Netherlands, but is the ship actually registered there, or anywhere else for that matter?

A ship without registry on the high seas has virtually no rights in international law, and could be boarded, seized, or even sunk, with practical impunity.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

And what would they say if the ship sank? It would be it's choice if it didn't float anymore.
