Moroccans Outraged Over Dutch ‘Abortion Ship’ Due to Dock Tomorrow (Yes, It’s Exactly Like it Sounds)

Oct. 3, 2012 7:20pm Erica Ritz

A Dutch ship promoting safe sex and providing “offshore” abortions has Moroccan lawmakers in a frenzy ahead of its scheduled arrival on Thursday.

“Moroccan law forbids abortion. Moroccan religious identity say it is forbidden and so does Islam. So the government cannot allow this ship to come to Morocco,” Abdelmalik Zaza was quoted as saying in Al-Tajdid, the newspaper of ruling Islamist party the PJD.

Chafik Chraibi, who leads a Moroccan NGO aiming to perform legal abortions, said it’s a good “symbolic” effort but added: “To practice abortion at sea, in international waters, is for me a way of circumventing the law and is something clandestine.”

Women on Waves Ship Providing Offshore Abortions About to Dock Near Morocco Outrages Lawmakers

The Telegraph has more information on what is being dubbed the “abortion ship”:

Many in Morocco expect it to be turned away.

The Dutch group says the purpose of the visit is to provide women with “safe legal medical abortions” up to 6.5 weeks into pregnancy, in a country where the practice is illegal and taboo and can expose women to grave health risks.

It also said it will set up a hotline to inform women about safe medical abortions that can be induced at home.

Doctor Rebecca Gomperts, the founder of Women on Waves, told AFP that around 600 to 800 Moroccan women have an abortion every day.

“The problem is that only about 200 cases are done properly, by women who have money,” Gomperts said, with the rest resorting to dangerous methods because they are unable to afford the expensive treatment.

This leads to the deaths of 78 Moroccan women each year on average, Gomperts claimed, citing statistics provided by the World Health Organisation. [Emphasis added]

“We haven’t been informed about the arrival of this boat and from a security standpoint, it’s a boat we don’t know or why it is coming, so I don’t see what we can do,” Minister of Interior Mohend Laenser told The Associated Press.

But the Minister of Education Lahcen Daoudi added that any boat coming to Morocco has to respect the country’s laws. “The people charged with applying the law will apply it on everything to do with the boat,” he warned.

The Women on Waves organization has previously promoted controversy and angered authorities in conservative Catholic countries, where abortion is also often frowned upon.

In 2003, the boat docked in Poland and the following year was prevented from docking in Portugal.

Call the ACLU and get Planned Parenthood involved. There are women in the world who want to KILL their babies and are being denied. When the ACLU and PP get involved, we Americans can still be in the hook for the bills. That is the new progressive way- One world economy with the US paying the bills.

“the purpose of the visit is to provide women with “safe legal medical abortions” up to 6.5 weeks into pregnancy, ”

How do they propose to determine that?
A woman is 7.23 weeks..she won’t qualify?
Right.

Now we a cruise ship for killers. .. I don’t believe in “boom” violence but this ship is pushing me to the edge to be happy in sinking these types of ships.

Leave it to the Dutch who kill people to harvest their organs while in a hospital to find ways to enslave people like they used to. And our gov’t does every thing possible to encourage this kind of behavior.

I wish they would create a floating cancer clinic that is beyond the laws of our country which prohibit the cure of cancer patients. They are still using the blood-letting techniciques that they used 50 years ago. Cancer is the cash-cow of the medical profession. Treating cancer is more profitable that curing it.
Any doctor who tries to cure a cancer patient (NOT treat him) in this country will loose his license and may even be killed. Alternative cures are disouraged or even prohibited. A terminal cancer patient is not allowed to treat himself because it might make the medical profession look bad. The cancer patient can only wait to die. So much for “Life, liberty and the persuit of happiness.”

  Hi RamonPreston,
  
  Check out this clinic and read the book, “The Burzynski Breakthrough” second edition. You might just be surprised….

  You can’t stop a person from treating themselves.Where you got such an idea is beyond me.Being able to fake a cancer diagnosis is part of a torture scheme.Could they make money off it and do it to others not originally targeted.Sure could.They however run more of a risk of getting caught.,This however may be why they want to treat trather than cure cancer.Its a cash cow.If they are in fact doing the fake getting free of it won’t necessarily be easy.The same methods they use to fake cancer can be used to fake other diseases as well.
  Think in terms of injections of crisco mixed with iodine seeds finely ground glass and a nixture of cigarette filters mixed with acetone.Thisw is used to fake a specific disease.However by using only crisco and perhaps a light amount of iodine in a non disolvable small sphere you could easily fake cancer.They would have an inflamation marker as they do have inflamation.The stronger the immune system is, the worse the reaction.They may or may not have the genetic marker.They frauds would have to know that in advance.In order to fake that.They wouldn’t be as likely too though as other family members may have been tested and found to be negative.

Lets look into the near future when jihadists begin suicide bombing in Holland. The Moroccans are crying foul. When do we stop meddling in other countries, where do we draw the line? This is just wrong.

Yep, just lost my last ounce of compassion or caring or love for the human race. Floating abortion clinics pushing abortion were its not wanted. I’ve always been kinda cynical of society, but lately….I’ve been pushed off the chart of cynicism. We have a standing prez encouraging contractors to break the law and offering to pay there legal fee’s. We have floating abortion ships. We have NASA encouraging and exploring Islam. We have a Prez thats obviously a liberation theologist, anti colonialist, and NWO advocate. We have a MSM thats Communist at best and lying to us on a daily basis, we have schools and colleges as indoctrination centers for said communism. We have DHS buying 1.6 billion rounds of various ammo, enough to put 5 rounds in every man woman and child in Amerca, including illegals. We have a neutered congress and senate a DOJ that took over a college lounge in the 60′s and sympethises with the NBP. We have the UN trying to push its will into America using Islam. Our president lies to us on a daily basis and has at least 6 American deaths directly on his hands. But at least he’s cool enough to go on the View, TMZ, The pimp with a limp….and no doubt a limping unit. David Letterman, 60 mins and various other various soft media. We now have the real BO in clips from 2007, and 2002. I’m so glad the vetting has begun. Am I jaded……The people put him in office, the people are to Blame.

What a disgusting concept. Who the hell do these people think they are? You know if these elitest earth-worshipping jerks believe there are too many people on the planet, why don’t they do the true noble thing and volunteer to commit suicide to relieve global warming or whatever their chosen excuse is rather than dupe women into murdering their un-born children? There is no ethical
reason for this at all.

Hey maybe the ******* in Morocco can get the ******* in Egypt to use their new Obama funded German U-boats to torpedo the abortion ship. Bee good practice for them before they use them against US ships in the Suez canal zone. I assume that is why Obama is giving the Muslim Brotherhood American taxpayer money for the purchase of submarines, to attack and kill American sailors.

What else would a traitor like Obama expect them to do with submarines?

  Yeah, that WOULD be analogous…IF “ice cream preferences” was a substantive political issue…which it’s NOT–unlike abortion, which IS.
  
  Also, Hitler hated ice cream, just like he hated joy.

  TTA – Since when did you Marxists ever like joy? You consider a baby to be a parasite instead of a blessing and work to be awful. Along with junk food, big houses, SUVs, etc. No wonder you Marxists are such miserable people.

This again ,reminds me of the DUTCH SLAVE SHIPS , that traded trinkets with the zulus for captured tribesmen .
Doctors that perform abortions are blood thursty phycopaths, legal , but still phycopathic in nature , a lot like joseph mengele

Looks like my “test” post failed where I copy and pasted a part of the story.

I’ll fix it and post again. Can you spot the issue that still plagues The Blaze.

“Chafik Chraibi, who leads a Moroccan NGO aiming to perform legal abortions, said it’s a good “symbolic” effort but added: “To practice abortion at sea, in international waters, is for me a way of cir- c-u-m-venting the law and is something clandestine.”

  Nah, it doesn’t need to be anything that dramatic. You just put a few people along the dock to watch the women who are coming on-board, then when they are about a block away from the ship, you have a group of thugs “educate” (Read: beat to a bloody pulp, or kill) them.
  
  Of course knowing how fond terrorists are of drama, I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried a USS Cole style attack.

Approximately 255,500 abortions a year and 78 deaths….

That sounds better than US hospitals where 300,000 die each year from the wrong medication or dosage or Hospital Acquired Infections. : (

  255,500 abortions per year = 255,500 deaths per year.
  
  How can you have an abortion without a death? That’s the sole purpose of an abortion.
