NGO Teaches Women in Tanzania How to Perform Illegal Abortions

"The most oft used argument in support of legal abortion is that without the option to safely and legally receive an abortion women will end up destroying their health or ending their lives in drastic attempts to end unwanted pregnancies. This logic is at the foundation of an organization called Women on Waves—an NGO that travels the world on a sailboat to countries where abortion is illegal, picks up women, carries them out of domestic waters and performs abortions. The organization also performs its work by educating those in countries such as Tanzania, where abortion is illegal, how to perform “safe” abortions through covert methods."
