First there was Dr. Nitschke's floating euthanasia ship, and now
a women's group in the Netherlands,
Women on Waves,
is planning to establish a
floating abortion clinic. The ship will cruise the world, offering
abortions and contraception to oppressed women throughout the world's
conservative hellholes. The various Religious Right factions are not amused;
already, the deputy prime minister of Malta, a fiercely Catholic island-state
in the Mediterranean, has promised to prosecute anybody collaborating with the
group. Perhaps we can expect to see the Vatican Special Forces do a
Rainbow Warrior? (via Rebecca's Pocket)
