When the Women on Waves ship visits your country, you can make an appointment with us by telephone, email or by visiting the ship. We will inform you about when and where to board the ship. You will be treated according to Dutch professional medical standards, which include full confidentiality about counseling and/or treatment.
Here you can read more about counseling, the treatment and what to expect afterwards. Although abortion is illegal in your country, Women on Waves can help you in a legal and safe way. Dutch law applies on board a Dutch ship once it is outside territorial waters. We have permission to give you the abortion pill if you have missed your period for 16 days.

Split, I enjoy reading many of your post and agree with you on many of them.
Not this one however.
A human life begins a conaeption. This human life will grow and change throughout it's life span until it dies. When a woman chooses to have an abortion she removes that life.
This has nothing to do with being sentinent, self aware or when the soul enters the body.
When sperm meets egg a human life is formed. It begins to grow and continues to do so long after birth.

A fertilized egg may be a human life form, but it's hardly a human being or a person. Nor is it the beginning of life, as both the sperm and the ovum are alive and are human.

Do you know about the Abortion Ship?
This is the length women will go to - - - to have the rights to their own body.

And that's exactly the kind of lengths they SHOULD have to go to - - - to kill their babies.
Tell me...
Did any of these women return home and find themselves charged with murder?

Even if you say that a fertilized egg or a fetus has the right to life, that right doesn't trump the right of the mother not to care for it. Slavery is illegal and t is also illegal to force someone to donate organs or blood, so why would it even be considered that we should force a woman to rent out her body for 9 months?

You enter into that contract the moment you LET sperm enter your love canal.
You may want your kids to come up in a world where sex has no consequences, but I sure don't.

I suppose then women who die in motel rooms and back alleys with unbent hangers between their legs deserve it, eh? I mean, if they want an abortion that bad they might as well die for it.

I think we both want our children to grow up in a world where sex has consequences for both parties and not solely on the shoulders of women which we are seeing in this thread and real life.

Sadly, yes. The practice requires a death either way. I'd rather see that death applied to the one that chose rather than the one who couldn't.

So then you must've applauded the hospital for this.
Should we also perform a genetic comparison to the fetus and then go kill the father too? He is just as responsible.

I don't even have to look at the link to know what you're referring to. And no, I don't applaud the hospital. That was a tragedy.

That's just silly, but genetic comparisons between fetuses and fathers is something I would whole-heartedly support.
But why aren't we doing that now?
Because that would give the father RIGHTS now wouldn't it?

Hmmm.... If I am not mistaken the death penalty is still in affect in many places.
