A controversial “abortion ship” is planning to sail to countries where the practice is illegal and take women out to sea for terminations after the Dutch government lifted restrictions banning it from international waters.

Pro-choice organisation Women on Waves said yesterday that they would target Ireland, Poland and Malta, the three EU countries where abortion remained illegal, and had also received invitations from campaigners in Argentina and other South American countries.

Under the terms of its licence, the group is able to sail under the Dutch flag in international waters and hand out “abortion pills” for women up to seven weeks pregnant, causing them to miscarriage. the rest photo
