"Abortion drones" will drop pills over Poland
Non-profit organization Women on Waves is set to send an "abortion drone" carrying medical abortion pills from Germany to Poland. The drone will set off from the German town of Frankfurt an der Oder and will fly across the river to the Polish town of Słubice. The delivery is an attempt to circumvent the law and to stress the discrepancy between Polish regulations and those of Western Europe as Poland's abortion law permits the procedure only if the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest, if the mother’s life is endangered, or if the fetus is severely malformed. The WHO-approved drugs, mifepristone and misoprostol, induce miscarriage and can be taken without medical supervision for pregnancies that have not passed the ninth week. They can be transported over the border by a drone since it won't be flying through controlled airspace and weighs less than five kilos.
