Dutch Abortion Ship Leaves Polish Port or Babies to be Butchered on the Baltic

A ship operated by abortion rights activists left a Polish port Thursday and headed for waters outside the nation's tough anti-abortion jurisdiction, officials said.

Capt. Kazimierz Undro said the Langenort sailed in the afternoon for the Baltic Sea carrying a group of Polish women. He said the boat would likely return to port later in the evening.

Women on Waves, a pro-choice group from the Netherlands that runs the ship, had said were taking the women out to international waters — out of reach of Polish abortion law, one of Europe's strictest — to offer advice on contraceptives and medical services.

The boat carried a six-member crew and 11 Polish passengers, a spokesman of Polish Border Guards in Wladyslawowo told the PAP news agency.

The visit by the Langenort has angered Poland's influential Roman Catholic church and anti-abortion activists.

Earlier Thursday, the crew paid a $3,150 fine after failing to answer calls from the harbormaster asking it to identify the ship as it approached port Sunday.

The fine follows an earlier brush with customs officials, who have sealed a stash of abortion pills aboard the ship to prevent the campaigners distributing them in Poland, where their use is illegal.

Under a 1993 law, pregnancy can be terminated legally in Poland only if it threatens the woman's health, the fetus is irreparably damaged or if the pregnancy results from rape or incest.

Let us all say a prayer for innocents to be butchered on the Baltic.

The Polish government has done well with this group of Dutch killers. Stopping them, fining them and searching the vessel. I don't know what else they could do, however, to prevent any of their unborn citizens from being murdered. It would have been a stretch and invasive to have demanded pregnancy tests of any women boarding the ship. If the Poles learn later that, contrary to the story about "advice", these women actually received abortions while on the ship, perhaps they could charge the Dutch group with false official statements, levying huge fines to set up a situation where they could outright seize any vessels the Dutch again send into Polish waters.

Abortion evangelists...goes to show, this passion for killing the unborn is a religious rite to the left.

Why don't they try this in Saudi Arabia?

You are right - a religious rite and more to the point possibly a political rite of passage. These infanticiders are 99.9% left wing and hate Christian conservatives with a passion. Any pro life conservative is the enemy to them.

Polish pro-life organizations are considering sending a pro-life ship to the Netherlands to educate Dutch women about the evils of infanticide.

Because they would be beheaded there without mercy. In Arab countries children are valued so much that parents are named after them. Abu Ali means Father of Ali, Om Ali - Mother of Ali.

Civilisations which promote abortion have death wish.

Yea, I figured. That was a rhetorical question, actually. Its like human shields - they only go to Israel and Iraq. You'ld never see them in Iran "shielding" the students from the mullahs.
