Drones: frequent instruments of war, and now, thanks to “reproductive rights” groups, instruments of illegal abortions.
This weekend, an alliance of four pro-abortion groups is dropping abortion pills from drones over Poland, where abortion is illegal, but women cannot be punished for performing them on themselves.
They will fill the packages in Germany, and then fly them over a Polish border town, making sure to comply with the country’s drone regulations.
The drones contain mifepristone and misoprostol, abortion-inducing drugs pushed by the WHO, which can be taken up to nine weeks into a pregnancy.
Women on Waves, one of the groups providing the pills, claims that these abortions “can easily be done by women themselves at home without supervision by health professionals.”
“Woman who have abortions in Poland are not criminalised, it’s the people who provide the abortions who are acting illegally,” Women on Waves founder Rebecca Gomperts told the Guardian. “We want to create awareness among Polish women that there is medicine that is safe to use. So that whenever they look for abortions they will make sure it is safe.”
