PSNI RESPOND TO ABORTION DRONE PUBLICITY STUNT
On 17th June, Precious Life wrote to PSNI Chief Constable George Hamilton to express its concerns about pro-abortion groups’ plans to fly an ‘abortion drone’ and deliver illegal abortion drugs mifepristone and misoprostol from Corna Mucklagh House in Omeath to Narrow Water at Warrenpoint on the morning of Tuesday 21st June and plans to hold a protest outside the Royal Courts of Justice later that afternoon where, it was claimed, women at the protest were to ingest the abortion drugs.
Precious Life contacted the PSNI about this because, although the ‘abortion drone’ was most likely merely a publicity stunt; 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, there was also the possibility that the people behind the ‘abortion drone’ stunt were in fact smuggling illegal abortion drugs into Northern Ireland to supply women with the drugs, knowing that the drugs were intended to be unlawfully used to procure an abortion.
Precious Life requested that the PSNI confiscate the ‘abortion drone’ and take in for questioning the people behind it, as there was a danger they were aiding and abetting women to break the law in Northern Ireland.
The PSNI responded to our request, outlining the following:
"It will depend on the specific circumstances that unfold on [Tuesday 21st June], and in the event that there are grounds to suspect that any criminal offences have been committed, appropriate action will be taken."
Police were present at Narrow Water on Tuesday morning and were present outside the Royal Courts of Justice in the afternoon, but no action was taken. The abortion drugs were not intended to be used to procure an abortion, as none of the women were pregnant at the time of taking the drugs. Therefore, the police concluded that no criminal offence had been committed.
Although it turned out to be merely a desperate and despicable publicity stunt, Precious Life is pleased that the PSNI did not dismiss our concerns and rightly intervened and investigated the protest.
Precious Life will seek legal advice on the legality of being in possession of these deadly abortion drugs.
