AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, June 24 (UPI) -- Activists intend to send an "abortion drone," carrying abortion-inducing medication, to fly to Poland in the hopes of dramatizing the country's restrictive abortion laws.
Women on Waves, an Amsterdam-based women's rights group, will launch an unmanned aerial vehicle from Frankfurt, Germany, Saturday, carrying mifepristone and misoprostol to an unidentified spot near Slubice, Poland. The action is meant to draw attention to the safety of abortion medication and the restrictions on abortion in Poland, an overwhelmingly Catholic country and one of the few in Europe in which abortion is not freely available in the first trimester.
