Fate? Abortion Ship Runs Aground

Abortion Ship Heads to Ecuador But Literally Runs Aground, Endangers Women

Quito, Ecuador (LifeNews.com) -- In 1999, abortion advocates devised a new strategy to bring abortion to nations that protect women and unborn children. After upsetting residents of Ireland, Poland and Portugal, the Dutch-based abortion boat recently arrived in the South American nation of Ecuador, where abortions are illegal. The pro-abortion group Women on Waves is behind the abortion boat and the group said it received an invitation from local abortion advocates to head across the Atlantic. The organization recently traded in its converted tugboat, or trawler, for a high-end sailing vessel, but the group may be regretting its decision. On its way to Ecuador, the Women on Waves ship, Harmony, ran aground in a tropical storm. The incident occurred two week ago and WOW said it is "almost sure it will not be able to arrive in Ecuador for the planned campaign." The group tried to put a good face on the predicament in a press release and said its officials would spend their time in Ecuador promoting the dangerous RU 486 abortion drug. "To do a safe abortion with pills, there is no need for a Dutch ship, as this is the age of worldwide communication, Internet and mobile phones," WOW said. "Women from Ecuador can be free to decide themselves and take their lives in their own hands with the support of local organizations."

I think they need to take their ship somewhere it will be welcomed. I hope that they find a country where they can be welcomed.
