“’Abortion Drone’ Another Desperate Publicity Stunt”
As the appeal to overturn last November’s High Court abortion ruling fast approaches, pro-abortion groups have announced plans to fly an ‘abortion drone’ from the Republic of Ireland to Northern Ireland to deliver abortions pills next week.
Bernadette Smyth, the director of Precious Life, likened the ‘abortion drone’ to the ‘abortion pill train’ from two years ago and denounced it as a “desperate publicity stunt” which only serves to expose “these people’s raging contempt for the law, their blinding hatred of vulnerable and defenceless unborn children, and disturbing disregard for women’s safety and wellbeing.”
Bernadette Smyth continued, “This ‘abortion drone’ may be nothing; merely another opportunity for pro-abortion activists to pose for photographs with a paracetamol tablet on their tongue and a bottle of water in their hand. But the PSNI must confiscate this ‘abortion drone’ and take in for questioning the people behind it, as they may be aiding and abetting women to break the law in Northern Ireland.
“The purpose of deadly abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol is to attack an already vulnerable and distressed woman’s mind and body and to end the life of her unborn child.
“Since 2001, at least twenty-two women worldwide have died from fatal complications including haemorrhage, toxic shock, sepsis, organ failure, and ruptured ectopic pregnancy following an early abortion with mifepristone and misoprostol. Twelve women, one in Canada, eight in the United States, one in Portugal, one in Australia, and one in England, have died from sepsis or toxic shock syndrome.
“Women can lose their unborn child at anytime and anywhere during this abortion process and are most often haunted by unresolved grief and guilt and memories of their dead baby for years to come.
“A public announcement of a plan to flout the law would not be tolerated if it were related to any other criminal offence. The PSNI need to step up and intervene and do everything in their power to keep women and their unborn children safe in Northern Ireland.”
