Abortion Ship Pelted With Eggs and Paint and Searched by Polish Customs Officers
LifeSite ^ | Monday June 23, 2003

Bishop described the boat crew's objective as "killing Poles."

WLADYSLAWOWO, June 23, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Dutch abortion ship, the brain child of abortion-activist Rebecca Gomperts, was to dock in Poland Saturday but was kept offshore by a storm. When the ship arrived Sunday it was met with a hail of eggs, red paint and shouts condemning the abortionists aboard as "murderers" and "Gestapo". Polish customs officials searched the boat looking for abortion pills which are illegal in Poland.

The large demonstration of some 200 people, which included All-Poland Youth and Catholic League of Polish Families, dwarfed the few people who applauded the ship's arrival. Catholic Church leaders were adamantly opposed to the ship's entry into Poland. "We must not let criminals enter our territorial waters and perform crimes on our children," the Archbishop of Gdansk, Tadeusz Goclowski, said during a Mass on Thursday. He described the boat crew's objective as "killing Poles."

A search by customs officials found the ship did indeed contain the illegal abortion drugs. However, government spokesman Malgorzata Wilkosz-Sliwa, said "If no-one tries to distribute [the pills], then there is no crime."

She should have confinscated the pills until the ship was ready to leave port to make sure they didn't get into inappropriate hands.

Where can I find a bishop like this in America?

Sounds like they "welcomed" the baby killers in the proper fashion!

Wish we had those kind of Cahones here in USA!

I have been advised by a real live Pole that "Niech Zyje Polska!" is the proper turn of phrase.

NIECH ZYJE POLSKA!

Hey, isn't cracking open an egg a form of abortion?

Of course not. In the first place, an egg isn't fertilized.

In the second place, abortion is murder - you can't murder an animal.

That would get all the PC nuts' patties in a bunch. G-d forbid that you would kill murderers. It's ok to kill babies in the womb, terminally ill people and mentally ill people but not criminal murderers.

Re: "need to abort them selves"
One of my former sisters-in-law was spouting to my mom why abortion was OK. How babies were dumb, smelled badly etc.
Mom looks at her and says, "Yes, I gues maybe your mom should have had one."
End of that conversation!

The Polish clergy could teach the American clergy a few lessons in moral courage.

JustPiper,Mary was picketing when she was 3 months old.I held her up at the abortion hell,she went on to do her own TV show and was on radio all the time.At 14 she asked to be like everyone else in school and so I stopped producing the show she was on.I respected that-she put her time in for life issues and good values.I was surprised she said yes to the freep.Mary paid her dues and could teach others but she wants her space but me thinks she is ready to bloom again as a woman with a voice.Give your daughter time she hears everything you say and remembers.
