Abortion on sea

The organisation "women on waves" just got permission to break of pregnancies until <7 weeks in international erea. The organisation is dissapointed because they were hoping for a permission going up to 13 weeks. They now rent spaces on board of dutch ships to help women in countries where it is prohibited to have an abortion. See articel.

Becoming a father myself in october, I can imagine how difficult it must be that when a child is not welcome, your government forbids you to do anything about it. In most of these tricky affairs (drugs, mercy-killing(euthanesia), extreme organisations, prostitutes and so on), I am in favour of guiding people and helping them finding a way then just to simple ban it. I believe that by forbidding it, your rather turning your back on society, instead of dealing with its old and known obstacles.

Women on waves, you have my support!
