Abortion Ship Pelted With Eggs and Paint and Searched by Polish Customs Officers

Bishop described the boat crew's objective as "killing Poles."

WLADYSLAWOWO, June 23, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Dutch abortion ship, the brain child of abortion-activist Rebecca Gomperts, was to dock in Poland Saturday but was kept offshore by a storm. When the ship arrived Sunday it was met with a hail of eggs, red paint and shouts condemning the abortionists aboard as "murderers" and "Gestapo". Polish customs officials searched the boat looking for abortion pills which are illegal in Poland.

The large demonstration of some 200 people, which included All-Poland Youth and Catholic League of Polish Families, dwarfed the few people who applauded the ship's arrival. Catholic Church leaders were adamantly opposed to the ship's entry into Poland. "We must not let criminals enter our territorial waters and perform crimes on our children," the Archbishop of Gdansk, Tadeusz Goclowski, said during a Mass on Thursday. He described the boat crew's objective as "killing Poles."

A search by customs officials found the ship did indeed contain the illegal abortion drugs. However, government spokesman Malgorzata Wilkosz-Sliwa, said "If no-one tries to distribute [the pills], then there is no crime."

She should have confinscated the pills until the ship was ready to leave port to make sure they didn't get into inappropriate hands.

Where can I find a bishop like this in America?

Sounds like they "welcomed" the baby killers in the proper fashion!

Wish we had those kind of Cahones here in USA!

I have been advised by a real live Pole that "Niech Zyje Polska!" is the proper turn of phrase.

NIECH ZYJE POLSKA!

Hey, isn't cracking open an egg a form of abortion?

Of course not. In the first place, an egg isn't fertilized.

In the second place, abortion is murder - you can't murder an animal.

I mean the lesbian ex-nuns who serve as "admissions directors" to make sure that only "open-minded" individuals who are "sensitive to contemporary needs" are admitted.

That would get all the PC nuts' patties in a bunch. G-d forbid that you would kill murderers. It's ok to kill babies in the womb, terminally ill people and mentally ill people but not criminal murderers.
