Women on Waves has previously chartered ships in European waters

A Dutch "abortion boat" is en route to Morocco in its first trip to a Muslim country.

The procedure is illegal in Morocco, unless the mother's life is at risk.

The organisation, Women on Waves (WoW), provides abortions and contraception information outside territorial waters in countries where abortion is illegal.

Over the past 11 years, a Women on Waves ship has visited Ireland, Poland, Portugal and Spain, sparking protests from anti-abortion groups.

2. Women's health services are already severely restricted in many places in the USA.

State legislatures and aggressive assaults from the religious right
have forced many clinics to either close down or stop offering
abortion services.
