An ‘abortion drone’ has been spotted in Poland dropping pregnancy-terminating pills to some citizens.
Taking off from the town of Frankfurt an der Odur, the drone flew across the River Oder to the Polish border town of Slubice. There, it dropped two packs of mifepristone and misoprostol to two women, who swallowed them when they arrived.
One of those women was Marta, a 30-year-old from Warsaw, who said she was “outraged” that she was not legally able to get ahold of such methods in her home country.
“It’s adding to a lot of stress,” she said, as quoted by Deutsche Welle. “I don’t like how me wanting the right to have a safe and legal abortion makes me fall into the picture of someone who’s not responsible and doesn’t have control. That’s the discourse that’s popular in Poland and that’s so hurtful.”
The drone was sent by Women on Waves, a Netherlands-based non-profit organization which provides medical abortion pills around the world.
