Buenos Aires, Argentina, Nov 30, 2004 / 22:00 pm
A Buenos Aires Congressman has launched a legal effort to keep the Dutch abortion ship “Aurora” from docking in Argentina and offering abortion services to Argentinean women.
Abortion promoters in the country have announced the intended arrival of the Aurora, the boat operated by Women on the Waves which picks up women and takes them out to international waters so they can obtain abortions.
Congressman Jorge Enriquez said the Argentinean Penal Code considers abortion a crime and that if the boat is allowed to come to Argentina, “tomorrow a boat offering euthanasia could come and pick up terminally ill patients to have them killed out in open waters.”
The President of Women on the Waves, Rebecca Goomperts of Holland, has been invited by pro-abortion lawmakers to visit Argentina on December 9.
