A doctor is using drones to get termination pills to women in countries where abortions are illegal.

Rebecca Gompert has made good on her plan to use remote-controlled aircrafts to drop non-surgical pregnancy-ending options in countries such as Poland.

Police hunt for man as schoolgirl is snatched and two left shaken in similar kidnap attemptGompert claims she’s already sent pill-carrying drones from Germany into Poland – where abortion is allowed only when the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest, or the foetus is severely deformed.

The doctor, who set up Women on Web – an online forum which aims to help females who want to terminate pregnancies do so safely , claims she’s been sent thousands of emails from women who fear they’re going to be forced into motherhood.




‘We started with the abortion ship but as a result we got a lot of emails from women all over the world asking for help. It became pretty quickly obvious that we had to do something else.

‘It is very interesting to be able to use the regulations and the legislation that is there — but to circumvent it and to do something legally which is not supposed to be done,’ she told NBC News.

Dr Gompert added: ‘Regulations have never been made for such actions so we’re using gaps in the rules. It’s nice to be able to help women by doing that.’

While trying to help women make their own decisions over the reproductive organs, she has run into a little hot water – including German police intercepting the drones.

Dr Gompert was also behind Women on Waves, a floating abortion clinic which launched in 1999 and has since visited Poland, Portugal, Spain and Morocco.
